Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP769) and 5 other sources
Roger Dale Schwerman II, a 19-year-old from Los Angeles, California, went missing on December 6, 1993. He was last seen leaving a friend's house at Venice Beach. At the time of his disappearance, Roger was wearing a white t-shirt, blue jacket, and blue pants, and he was not carrying any identification. Roger had been experiencing depression and anxiety, particularly over a possible cancer diagnosis, which led some to speculate that he may have taken his own life, though no definitive evidence has been found to confirm this theory.

Originally from Huntsville, Alabama, Roger graduated from Huntsville High School in 1992, where he was active in drama, sports, and other extracurricular activities. He was described as thin, standing between 5'10" and 6'1", with brown hair, brown eyes, and wearing glasses. At the time of his disappearance, he also had a full beard and mustache. Despite efforts from law enforcement, private investigators, and his family, Roger remains missing, and his case is still unsolved.
Last Seen: Dec 6, 1993
