Marcus O. Tate, 27, was last seen after a family gathering in Memphis, Tennessee, on New Year’s Eve, December 31, 1987. He was described as a Black/African American male, about 5 feet 10 inches, with black hair and brown eyes.

The Memphis Police Department handled the investigation, which went cold quickly amid scarce witnesses and the era’s investigative limits. A NamUs entry for his case was created April 18, 2014; DNA from his sisters has been submitted to national databases.

If anyone knew Marcus, attended that family gathering, or has information about his movements in late 1987, please share what might help bring answers.
