David B. Appel, 33, disappeared from his Westlake, Ohio home in the autumn of 2008. The last confirmed sighting was on or around October 1. He is described as a white male, brown hair, blue eyes, 5 feet 10 inches, about 175 pounds, with a mustache and a beard. His family was concerned he may have needed medication.

His red 1996 Honda Civic Del Sol was found abandoned in Garcï a Park near Taos, New Mexico. The car contained bleach and ammonia purchased there on November 20, and garden hoses taped to the tailpipe and run into the passenger window. Authorities believed the vehicle had been sitting through the winter and that it was out of gas when found. Investigators placed Appel at Mount Rushmore on November 10 before his appearance in Taos. The prevailing theory was that he may have driven to the park intending to harm himself, then left on foot into the surrounding wilderness after the vehicle was incapacitated.

Does anyone have information about David’s movements after he left the area around Garcï a Park or recall seeing him in New Mexico that November?
