Marcus Oubre, 37, was last seen the evening of August 23, 2023, near the Louisiana State University campus in Baton Rouge. He told family he planned to go away for a few days and was driving his white 2006 Honda Accord. Family reported him missing on August 27, 2023, after he failed to make contact.

That same night his Honda was found crashed and abandoned in St. John the Baptist Parish near the Veterans Memorial Bridge and La. 3213. Investigators with the St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff’s Office believe Marcus was driving at the time, but when officers arrived about 11:00 p.m. the vehicle was empty and Marcus was not at the scene. No sign indicated where he might have gone.

Family describe him as loving, peaceful, and caring, and held a balloon release on what would have been his 38th birthday near the location where the car was found. The investigation across multiple parishes remains active with few additional public leads.

If anyone was in or near the Veterans Memorial Bridge area the night of August 23, 2023, or has information about Marcus’ movements after the crash, please come forward.
