John Edward Fleshman, 40, disappeared after leaving his home in Dayton, Washington, on the afternoon of July 30, 2004. He told people at the residence he was just going for a walk and was last seen wearing blue jeans and black boots. He has brown hair, blue eyes, is 5 feet 8 inches and about 170 pounds, with tattoos on his head, arm and both elbows and scars on his forehead and left hand. He may also have used the last name Dillon or the alias Edward A. Guerrero.

A large search was conducted by the Mason County Sheriff’s Office across roughly a 50-square-mile area. More than 200 volunteers took part, supported by a King County Sheriff’s Office helicopter, Pierce County canine teams and local search and rescue units from Kitsap, Thurston and Mason counties, but no clues were found. The investigation remains open.

If anyone knew John, his movements that day, or recognizes his tattoos or the alternate names, please contact the Mason County Sheriff’s Office with any information.
