Seth Jacob Vanosdale, 35, was reported missing from Fort Wayne, Indiana after his family lost contact with him in late March 2023. A missing person report was filed with the Allen County Sheriff’s Office on April 18, 2023, and detectives have handled the investigation since then.

Seth is described as a white male, about 5 feet 10 inches and 185 pounds, bald at the time he disappeared though naturally brown-haired, with brown eyes. Distinguishing marks include several tattoos and scars: a tattoo reading ZIP on his upper back, scars on his right arm, hand and head, a burn scar on the left side of his left calf, and a very large surgery scar on his left arm from elbow to hand. He may have been wearing a watch and a bracelet when last seen. DNA samples from his mother and sister have been provided to assist identification if needed.

Information about the circumstances leading to his disappearance has been limited and the case remains active and open with few public updates. If anyone knew Seth, saw him in late March or early April 2023, or has information about his movements, please contact the Allen County Sheriff’s Office.
