Dennis Kaye Woods was 45 when he was last seen in Long Beach, California, on January 1, 1988. He had lived for nine years in an apartment on East 8th Street. Described as a white male with brown hair and blue eyes, he stood about 5 feet 10 inches to 5 feet 11 inches and weighed roughly 165 to 170 pounds. He commonly wore several gold rings on both hands and had a tattoo of his initials DKW on his left arm.

Shortly before Woods vanished, Melinda McCollom moved into the same complex and her boyfriend, Harvey Anthony Caron, became acquainted with Woods. Witnesses said Caron was seen removing Woods’ belongings after the disappearance, and Woods’ red 1984 Chevrolet Camaro was later found in front of Caron’s new apartment. Caron said Woods sold him the car but produced no proof; Woods had renewed the Camaro’s insurance in February 1988. Caron was convicted of car theft in 1990 but was not charged in connection with Woods’ disappearance. Woods’ whereabouts remain unknown and the case is unsolved.

If anyone knew Dennis, his routines, or saw his Camaro around Long Beach in early 1988, please share what you know with investigators.
