Duane Stuart Masher, a 55-year-old aeronautics engineer from Coto de Caza, California, was last seen August 10, 2017. His family reported him missing after they could not reach him. On August 15, 2017, Duane’s 2013 Kia Soul was found abandoned at the Redwoods River Resort in Leggett, California, roughly 500 miles from his home; he had not been a guest there and no sign of him was found near the vehicle.

When family members checked Duane’s home they found a smashed cell phone and hard drives that had been damaged and placed in the oven, apparently burned and rendered unusable. Those items, together with the distant location of his car, prompted speculation that he might have been fleeing or trying to hide information, but no additional evidence has surfaced and his whereabouts remain unknown.

If anyone saw Duane, his Kia Soul, or anything unusual at the Redwoods River Resort area in early to mid August 2017, please share what was seen with investigators.
