Martin Marshall Daggett, 68, of Yucca Valley, California, vanished after leaving home on February 6, 1997, intending to travel to Las Vegas and reportedly stay at the Flamingo Hotel. He was never seen or heard from again and was reported missing after he failed to check in or contact family.

Daggett was described as six feet tall, about 170 pounds, with blue eyes, glasses, and a bald head with some gray hair. His van was later found at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas; it had been thoroughly cleaned out and contained only a Purdue University jacket. No signs of struggle were reported and none of his personal items, including identification, clothing, or luggage, were found with the vehicle.

The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department investigated, but the case has gone cold. His case remains listed in national databases and on advocacy sites in hopes of generating leads. If anyone has information about Martin Daggett or the circumstances of his disappearance, please contact law enforcement.
