John Walter Alley, 29, vanished after a visit to friends in Oregon in late winter 1990. He was expected back in Seattle on February 24, 1990, but never arrived and communication stopped; a missing persons report was filed with the Seattle Police Department on March 13, 1990. At the time he was described as a 29-year-old Caucasian man, 5 feet 11 inches, about 180 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes.

He was last seen wearing a blue Globe jacket, a medium red shirt, blue Levi’s size 32, white high-top sneakers size 10, and was believed to have been wearing black sunglasses. Distinctive marks included a three-inch scar on the underside of his left wrist and another three-inch scar on his neck below the hairline. No clear route, witnesses, or physical evidence have been reported about his travel back to Washington.

Anyone who knew John, saw him in Oregon or en route to Seattle in February 1990, or has information about his possible movements is asked to come forward.
