Owen Douglas Rascoe, 26, of Menlo Park, California, was last seen March 1, 1978. He is described as an African American man, 5 feet 5 inches tall, about 125 pounds, with black hair. Rascoe was known for strong religious beliefs and was thought to have been involved with the Peoples Temple.

His disappearance remains unresolved and is listed in missing person databases including NamUs. Some have noted the timing and his Temple connection and wondered if his disappearance was related to the events that followed later in 1978, but no conclusive evidence links him to those deaths.

Anyone who knew Owen, his whereabouts in early 1978, or who has information that might help resolve his case is asked to come forward.
