David Harold Dilloway, 24 years old, was last seen in Austin, Texas, on April 28, 2001. He had plans to meet his family that weekend but never arrived. Dilloway, who was suffering from depression at the time and classified as disabled, left behind several personal belongings, including his dog, clothing, important papers, and a guitar at the apartment where he was staying. He was last seen wearing a black Metallica t-shirt, blue jeans, and black combat boots.

Dilloway is described as being 6'1", weighing between 185 to 195 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. He also has a scar across his right cheek and a distinctive cross-shaped burn scar on his left arm. Despite efforts by law enforcement and his family, Dilloway has not been heard from since, and his case remains unsolved. Investigators continue to seek information that might help bring answers to his disappearance.
