Joel E. Saunders, 44, was last seen in Long Beach, Washington, on March 8, 1998. He is described as a White/Caucasian male, 6 feet 2 inches, about 220 pounds, with brown hair, blue eyes and distinctive burn scars. At the time he was reportedly wearing jeans, a plaid shirt and yellow rain gear.

Family reported him missing to the Pacific County Sheriff’s Office on April 8, 1998. A local search by the Sheriff’s Office produced no leads, and a few weeks after the report the Washington Department of Corrections issued a warrant for his arrest on a probation violation. There have been no confirmed sightings since March 8, 1998, and the case remains open.

Few details have emerged about what happened that day, and investigators have received no significant developments since the initial inquiry. Does anyone who knew Joel, lived in Long Beach in 1998, or recalls seeing a man matching his description have information to share?
