Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP22523) and 6 other sources
Gary Palmer Moore, a 26-year-old man from Pasadena, Maryland, was last seen on March 19, 1979. On that day, he called his mother from a friend's house, informing her that he was going to the airport to pick up his girlfriend. However, Moore never arrived at the airport and has not been seen or heard from since. At the time of his disappearance, Moore was reportedly involved as a drug courier, which has led authorities to suspect foul play in his case.

Moore was 6'1" tall, weighed between 150 and 170 pounds, and had brown hair and brown eyes. He wore a mustache and had no known distinguishing marks other than his facial hair. His disappearance remains unsolved, with investigators suspecting that he may have been murdered, but his body has never been recovered.

Authorities continue to seek information on Moore's whereabouts, and his case remains open as an unsolved mystery.
