Alfred Swain McFarland was 32 and living without a permanent address in Seattle when he was last seen on October 22, 2003. He is described as six feet tall, about 220 pounds, with blond or strawberry-colored hair and blue eyes. After that date his presence in the city’s familiar spaces vanished and no contemporaneous public report appears to have been made.

A NamUs missing person entry was created on September 22, 2016, and the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office is listed as handling the case under number 2016-68957. There are no details about last-known clothing or personal items, and little is documented about the circumstances that led to his disappearance.

Does anyone who knew Alfred or saw him in Seattle around October 2003 have information that could help investigators?
