Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP33580) and 4 other sources
Stephen Mackey, a 43-year-old man from San Antonio, Texas, was last seen on March 13, 1989. His disappearance remains unsolved, and little information has surfaced about the circumstances surrounding that day. Despite extensive investigations by the San Antonio Police Department, no significant leads have emerged over the years. His case is now considered cold, and authorities continue to seek any tips or new information that might shed light on what happened to him.

Mackey's case is listed in multiple missing persons databases, and the San Antonio Cold Case Unit has periodically revisited the evidence in hopes of finding new leads. His family and investigators remain hopeful that advances in forensic technology or a tip from the public might eventually help resolve this case. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact local law enforcement.

Last Seen: Mar 13, 1989
