Donald Richard Cowan was 40 when he left his Las Vegas home in the 6300 block of Katella on December 21, 1982, and never returned. He is described as about 5 feet 10 inches, 170 pounds, with thinning brown hair at the front, hazel eyes, a brown mustache, and scars on both sides of his abdomen. From that day forward there have been no confirmed sightings, communications, or verified traces publicly documented.

The case record is sparse: law enforcement reports only that he left his residence and did not come back, with few released details about his plans or movements that day. Investigators later focused attention on David Dale Morgan, a former business associate linked by authorities to other disappearances, but no charges were ever filed in connection with Cowan’s disappearance and the case remains unsolved and active in cold case listings.

Does anyone have information about Cowan’s life in Las Vegas or his whereabouts around December 21, 1982?
