Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP376) and 10 other sources
Donald Ray Goodman, age 35, was last seen on the afternoon of July 25, 1993, in Topeka, Kansas. He was spotted riding his bicycle through Gage Park around 3:30 p.m. Goodman, who suffered from mental disabilities and required medication to control seizures, did not have his medication with him when he disappeared. His bicycle, which was his only means of transportation, was later found at his residence, where the door was unlocked. Inside the home, his eyeglasses, cigarettes, and lighter were left behind, and there were no signs of a struggle.

Goodman did not pick up his paycheck from his job at the Kansas Neurological Institute, and there has been no activity on his bank account since his disappearance. He had various distinguishing features, including burn scars on his back, a bullet wound scar on one of his pinky fingers, and scoliosis, which caused him to walk with a limp. Despite extensive investigations, no leads have emerged, and Goodman’s case remains unsolved. Authorities continue to seek information regarding his disappearance, treating it as an endangered missing person case.
