George Wayne Pooler, 37, vanished from Omak, Washington on November 18, 1988. A member of the Colville Indian tribe, he had brown hair and brown eyes, wore wire-framed eyeglasses, and had a beard and mustache; he also had distinctive tattoos on both arms and shoulders. He was last seen leaving a tavern near Main Street and Central Avenue, departing in his blue 1982 Toyota station wagon with several other people.

Three miles south of Omak the Toyota was found abandoned and completely burned out, a discovery that suggested foul play. Family members say witnesses told them one of the men last seen with George was jealous over a relationship and that George had been seen being stabbed, but no confirmed resolution has been reported. The Colville Tribal Police Department continues to list him as a missing person.

If anyone knew George, the people he was with that night, or has information about the burned station wagon, please come forward.
