Mark Jeffrey Dribin was 42 when he vanished from northeast Portland in early July 1999. He called his employer on July 2 requesting emergency leave and was last seen publicly on July 3 at the Eagle Tavern in downtown Portland; he missed his next scheduled shift on July 5. Coworkers who checked his home found no forced entry but significant blood spatter on the walls and evidence someone had tried to clean the scene. Dribin’s car was missing from the residence and was recovered days later abandoned near southeast 43rd Avenue and Division Street.

Detectives never located Dribin’s body, and his family pursued answers for years. In March 2019 the case was reopened and investigators used forensic genealogy on DNA from the scene to identify a suspect. By January 2024 a plea in the case had resolved the criminal charges, though Dribin’s remains remain unrecovered and questions about his final moments persist.

Did anyone in Portland in July 1999 see Mark at the Eagle Tavern or notice his car near southeast 43rd and Division?
