Jeffrey Startzel, 51 and from Elk, Washington, was last seen on or about February 14, 2011, in Mt. Spokane State Park. That day a park ranger told him he could not leave his 1994 Ford 300 series truck parked overnight; the interaction in the lot is the last confirmed sighting. His truck was later found unattended and was towed two days after the ranger’s warning, but Jeffrey was not with it.

At the time he disappeared he was described as a white male with blond hair and blue eyes, 6 feet 1 inch and about 210 pounds. Investigators found no signs of foul play where the vehicle was located, and there were no clear indications of his intentions. The Spokane County Sheriff’s Office, with Detective Marc Melville assigned to the case, followed leads but reported no significant developments and the investigation has since grown cold.
