Troy Spencer Marks, a 39-year-old father of two, disappeared on June 6, 2006, after being dropped off by a friend in the vicinity of North Dourgenois Street in New Orleans, Louisiana. He was reportedly on his way to a concrete job but never arrived. At the time of his disappearance, Marks was living in a halfway house in Gretna, Louisiana, and was a recovering drug addict who may have relapsed prior to vanishing.
Despite struggles with substance abuse, he was known to maintain regular contact with his wife and two sons, who were nine and ten years old at the time. Marks was last seen possibly wearing a do-rag, a white short-sleeved t-shirt, blue jeans, and brown boots. He also wore a cubic zirconia earring in his pierced left ear. His physical characteristics include a tattoo of Yosemite Sam holding a gun and a football with 'TSM 33' on his shoulder.
Following his disappearance, the company vehicle that Troy Marks had been using, a dark gray four-door Ford F-150 truck, was reported missing by his employer. The truck was distinct, featuring a purple LSU mirror plate on the front, an LSU license plate frame on the back, and 'LSU Tigers' in white block lettering on the rear window. About a month after he was last seen, the vehicle was located in the parking lot of an apartment complex in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. One report indicated the truck's windows had been shot out when it was found. The vehicle was subsequently impounded and sold. The discovery of the truck in a different city added a troubling dimension to his case.
The circumstances surrounding Troy Marks's disappearance remain a mystery. After he went missing, rumors circulated that he may have been murdered with his body hidden in either New Orleans or Baton Rouge. Despite these rumors, no definitive evidence has surfaced to confirm his fate. His family has endured years of uncertainty, holding onto hope while grappling with the possibility of a tragic outcome. The investigation into his disappearance has been handled by the Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office. Although years have passed, his case is still considered an endangered missing person case and remains unsolved, leaving his loved ones without answers about what happened to him.Last Seen: Jun 4, 2006
