Stephen Zagarella, 37, was last seen in Fort Pierce, Florida on October 1, 2002. NamUs lists his case as MP19488 and records him as about 5 feet 7 inches tall, 175 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. NamUs confirms the date of last contact as October 1, 2002 and links a last known address to a residence on Palmetto Drive; beyond those basics, most case details are restricted.

Public databases and local listings repeat the same limited facts but do not provide aliases, distinguishing marks, clothing, vehicle information, itinerary, or eyewitness accounts. Follow‑up mentions in early 2023 noted law enforcement searches in St. Lucie County after tips about missing persons, but none were reported as directly tied to Zagarella or to any public outcome.
