Mark Thornton Missing Person Case

Mark Herbert Thornton, a 63-year-old resident of Milpitas, California, went missing on March 7, 2019. That day, he left his residence on Coelho Street around 11:30 a.m. and was last seen walking on foot. Thornton was considered "at risk" due to his need for medication to manage various medical conditions, including blood pressure issues, which he left behind. He was last seen wearing a red vest, black jeans, and gray hiking shoes.

Thornton had faced challenges in the years leading up to his disappearance. Five years earlier, he had lost his job and had been living off his savings. On the day of his disappearance, he had a conversation with his wife about financial issues after discovering their account was overdrawn. His wife left for an hour, and when she returned, he was gone. He had prepared for the evening, laying out his pajamas and washing dishes, but he never returned home. His phone was turned off, and there has been no contact from him since.

Despite search efforts, including assistance from local authorities and search and rescue teams, Thornton's whereabouts remain unknown. He is described as 5'9", weighing 164 pounds, with graying black hair and blue eyes. His case remains open, and authorities continue to seek information from the public.
