John Jacob Tucksen was 28 when he was last seen in Spanaway, Washington, on September 1, 2009. He is described as blond or strawberry-blond, with blue eyes, and five feet ten inches tall. The day he disappeared is described as beginning like any other, but there are no public details about his last known movements, state of mind, plans, clothing, or belongings.

The lack of specifics has left investigators and family with very few leads. The Pierce County Sheriff’s Office has kept the case open, and a public file was entered in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System in October 2018 to allow wider information and DNA comparisons.

If anyone in Spanaway or the surrounding area remembers John around late August or September 1, 2009, or has any information that could help, please come forward to the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office.
