George A. Nace was 36 when he disappeared from Lakewood, Washington in the summer of 1978. He was last seen on August 12, 1978, leaving his mother’s residence in Lakewood. At the time he was described as a white male, 5 feet 9 inches tall, about 170 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes, and reportedly wearing a yellow terry cloth short-sleeve shirt.

The Pierce County Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation after he was reported missing, but the circumstances of his departure and any movements afterward remain unclear. There were few leads and no significant evidence or witnesses reported, and the case went cold. Decades later the file remains open and unresolved.
