Distinguishing Characteristics:

Distinguishing Characteristics Caucasian male. Blond/brown hair, brown eyes. Oestrike has a scar on his chest and another scar on his left cheek. He has a long scar on his eyebrow about the size of a baseball. He has a tattoo of a green and red fighting dragon on his right shoulder, the name “Angela” tattooed on his chest over his heart, and an unspecified tattoo on his back.

Details of Disappearance:

Oestrike disappeared in 2002. His parents last saw him in Fort Myers, Florida on July 4th, with two men named Jose and Clift. They think he took $17,000 from their house before leaving; money meant to buy land for him and his brother.

After disappearing, he showed up in Brownsville, Texas, and was last seen at a bar called A.K.’s Sports Bar and Grill. His phone showed calls to other Texas towns (Halingen and McAllen) in July 2002, but it’s unclear who made them.

Oestrike had a troubled past: he left the Marines early and went to jail for it. He struggled after leaving the military, had a substance abuse problem, and was unemployed when he vanished.

There are conflicting dates for his disappearance (July 4th and September 25th), and the case remains unsolved. Florida police are still looking into it.
