Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP80700) and 6 other sources
Carl Darwin Moody, a 20-year-old man, was last seen on October 23, 1951, in San Francisco, California. There are very few details available about his disappearance, which remains an enduring mystery. At the time of his disappearance, Moody was described as a white male, standing 5'11" and weighing 140 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.

The circumstances surrounding his disappearance are unclear, and no significant leads or updates have emerged over the years. His case remains listed in various missing persons databases, including NamUs, but little progress has been made in finding out what happened to him. The San Francisco Police Department is handling the investigation, and they continue to seek any information that could lead to a resolution in this long-standing cold case.
