Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP706) and 7 other sources
Mark Donald Ramin, a 40-year-old man from Ithaca, New York, disappeared under mysterious circumstances on January 18, 2002. Ramin was last seen between 9:30 and 10:00 p.m. at the Pyramid Mall, where he had been working prior to being laid off earlier that month. He was reportedly seeking new employment at the mall when he vanished. After leaving the mall, authorities believe Ramin was walking back to his residence on Winthrop Drive, but he never arrived home.

Ramin was reported missing the next day by his brother, who lived with him and noticed his absence. Despite an extensive search of the area, including a possible sighting of him in a nearby wooded area, no confirmed clues about his whereabouts have emerged. His family has emphasized that it was highly uncharacteristic of Ramin to leave without warning, especially given his strong family ties. Furthermore, there has been no activity on his financial accounts since his disappearance.

Ramin was last seen wearing a tan jacket, green golf shirt, blue jeans, and light green sneakers. He also wore gold-rimmed glasses, and the tip of his right middle finger was missing from a prior accident. Over two decades later, his case remains unsolved, and his family and local authorities continue to seek answers regarding what happened to him.
