David King was 29 when he left his Brooklyn home on July 1, 1991, heading to work at the Fire Safe Alarm Company on William Street and never returned. He was described as a Black male, about six feet one inch tall, 175 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes; he sometimes wore a mustache. His mother and his wife reported him missing that day.

At the time King disappeared he was a co-defendant with Robert Rodriguez in a $13 million civil suit accusing both men of conspiring to steal computer software, business records and customer lists from a rival fire alarm company. Reports say King vanished shortly after an argument with Rodriguez, a detail that investigators noted as the case developed. In the late 1990s a body was exhumed as a possible match, but King’s family reportedly declined to provide DNA that would have confirmed identification. Rodriguez has been questioned in connection with other disappearances of former tenants but was never charged in King’s case; no charges have ever been filed in this disappearance.

Anyone who knew David, his routines, or who has information about his whereabouts in July 1991 is asked to come forward.
