Marti Shawn Hetzell was 18 when he disappeared from the Orchards area of Washington. He was last seen on August 25, 1989, and five days later his mother filed a missing person report. At the time he lived in the 7700 block of Northeast 110th Street in Vancouver but had been staying with a friend in Orchards when he vanished.

Marti is described as a Hispanic male with brown hair and brown eyes. A distinctive feature is that he was missing the tips of his left middle and index fingers. What he was wearing that day is unknown. Investigators have said there is no indication of foul play and one theory is that he left of his own accord, but specifics supporting that idea are not provided.

The Clark County Sheriff’s Office lists his case among cold cases and age-progressed photos have been circulated over the years. If anyone knew Marti, saw him around August 1989, or has information that could help locate him, please share what is known with the Clark County Sheriff’s Office.
