John Martin Plourde was 25 when he was last seen leaving his real estate office in Oakdale, Minnesota, on January 8, 2003. He is described as a white male, 5 feet 11 inches, 180 pounds, with blond or strawberry-colored hair and hazel eyes. From the moment he left the office, no one has reported seeing or hearing from him again.

The Oakdale Police Department and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension investigated but uncovered no significant leads or immediate signs of foul play. His case remains open; his information is entered in NamUs as MP13052 and the Oakdale file is 03002430. The lack of evidence or witnesses has left many questions unanswered.

Did anyone in or around Oakdale know John’s routines, clients, or regular places he might have visited in January 2003?
