Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP941) and 3 other sources
William Issac Eastep, a 54-year-old man, was last seen on February 15, 2003, around 1:30 p.m. at a convenience store located near 802 and Loop 197 North in Texas City, Texas. Eastep informed others that he planned to travel to Port Lavaca, Texas, but it is unclear if he ever arrived at his destination. He was driving a white 1996 Ford F-150 with Texas license plate number 6SVM06, which also remains missing.

At the time of his disappearance, Eastep was wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans. He had brown hair and brown eyes and was approximately 5'10" tall, weighing 158 pounds. Distinguishing marks included a tattoo of his first name, "William," on his right arm. His disappearance remains unsolved, and authorities have not released further details regarding possible developments in the case. Texas City Police continue to investigate the case and encourage anyone with information to come forward.

Despite the lack of new leads, the case remains open, and public appeals are ongoing to help find answers regarding William Eastep's whereabouts.
