Stephen Todd Swift was 37 when he was last seen in Rockport, Indiana, on December 20, 1988. He is described as a white male, 5 feet 9 inches to 5 feet 11 inches tall, 220 to 225 pounds, with brown hair, brown eyes, and wearing a beard and mustache. The circumstances of his disappearance are listed as unknown.

The case was not reported to the Spencer County Sheriff’s Office until October 14, 2002, and a national missing persons record was created on August 3, 2016. That long gap between his last known contact and official reporting has been cited as a factor that complicated the investigation and contributed to the case growing cold. The Spencer County Sheriff’s Office continues to list the investigation as open, and there are no public details about any significant developments.

Anyone who knew Stephen, saw him around Rockport in December 1988, or has information that could help investigators is asked to contact the Spencer County Sheriff’s Office.
