Donald Richard Delaney, known as Dick Delaney, was 60 when he vanished from Shoreline, Washington. He was last seen on November 12, 2003; concerns from an out‑of‑state brother led to a welfare check and a missing person report filed December 30, 2003. Donald was a Caucasian man with brown hair, brown eyes, and a left eye partially sewn shut. He was legally blind and did not drive.

His apartment search turned up no clues. Items he routinely carried — a small red and white cooler used for diabetes management, a black leather backpack with literature and protein powder, and a small blue duffle that held his medications, vitamins and herbal supplements — were gone. He was known to frequent Hoodsport and Shelton in Mason County, and both the King County Sheriff’s Office and later the Mason County Sheriff’s Office have been involved.

The case remains an active missing persons investigation with few solid leads. If anyone knew Donald, saw him after November 12, 2003, or has information about his habits in Hoodsport or Shelton, please come forward.
