Troy Spencer Marks, 39, vanished on June 6, 2006, after a friend dropped him off near North Dourgenois Street in New Orleans. He was reportedly headed to a concrete job but never arrived. At the time he was living in a halfway house in Gretna and was a recovering drug addict who may have relapsed before he disappeared. He kept regular contact with his wife and two sons, then nine and ten.

Marks was last seen possibly wearing a do-rag, white short-sleeved t-shirt, blue jeans and brown boots, and he had a cubic zirconia earring in his pierced left ear. He has a shoulder tattoo of Yosemite Sam holding a gun and a football with TSM 33. The company truck he had been using, a dark gray four-door Ford F-150 with distinctive LSU markings, was reported missing and was found about a month later in a Baton Rouge apartment complex parking lot; one report said its windows had been shot out. The truck was impounded and later sold. Rumors circulated that Marks may have been murdered and his body hidden in New Orleans or Baton Rouge, but no definitive evidence confirming his fate has emerged.

Anyone who knew Troy, saw him that week in June 2006, or has information about the truck’s discovery is asked to come forward.
