Gary Bell was 33 when he was last seen in Tacoma, Washington, on March 2, 1983. He lived in Spokane with his wife of one month and worked for Rainier Shows, traveling and living out of a 1974 Ford Econoline van with Washington plate EQA-043. That evening he met his employer in Tacoma to discuss a job in Vancouver, Washington and was seen leaving his employer’s location, but he never arrived in Vancouver and was not heard from again.

Both Gary and his van disappeared without a trace. He was described as a white male, 5 feet 10 inches, about 160 pounds, with brown hair, blue eyes, a round scar or birthmark on the top of his right wrist, and prescription plastic-frame eyeglasses. The Spokane County Sheriff’s Office investigated but was unable to develop definitive leads, and the case remains an unsolved missing person investigation.

Did anyone who knew Gary, worked with Rainier Shows, or saw his van around Tacoma or on the route to Vancouver in March 1983 have information to share?
