- Details of Disappearance:
- Mark disappeared while hiking in Kauai, Hawaii on November 10, 2005. He was last seen around 4:00 p.m. at a lookout point on a trail overlooking Waimea Canyon. He might have had a small backpack with tent poles.
He was supposed to fly out of Kauai on November 16th but never showed up for his flight. No one has heard from him since.
Investigators think he got lost or hurt while hiking and died in the canyon, maybe from a fall. There were reports of people seeing him after he disappeared, but those turned out to be wrong.
Mark was a well-educated, experienced hiker who loved to travel. He graduated from college with a music degree and was about to start graduate school for environmental studies. He was a quiet person who enjoyed writing music.
Despite the search, his disappearance remains a mystery.
