Mark Douglas Jackson, 35, was last seen on June 27, 2004, in Fort Lauderdale after spending the evening at a dance club with a visiting friend, John Bass. The two were captured on security cameras entering Drake Towers around 4:15 a.m.; Bass says he went to sleep about 5:00 a.m. and woke to find Jackson gone. Jackson left behind nearly all his personal effects, including his phone, keys, and medication, while his wallet, passport, and credit cards were missing.
Hours after Jackson disappeared his email and voicemail were accessed, but no bank transactions were made. Investigators found drugs, including GHB and crystal methamphetamine, in his apartment, and security footage reportedly malfunctioned shortly after he returned home. Authorities say the disappearance is highly suspicious and have noted some similarities to other local cases from 1988, but no conclusive links have been established.
Did anyone in Fort Lauderdale around June 27, 2004, see Mark, his car, or anything unusual near Drake Towers that night?
