Phillip Cabot Lloyd Martin was 47 when he vanished from Stockton, California on September 30, 1993. That morning he drove his ex-wife to work but never returned to pick up his daughters from school. He was living a transient lifestyle, working as a carpenter and laborer and sleeping in his gold 1987 Chevrolet Celebrity.

Martin’s vehicle was later found abandoned and burned in a vineyard near Lodi. He was reported missing on October 11, 1993. Investigators have long suspected foul play and consider Martin a possible victim of Wesley Shermantine and Loren Herzog; Martin’s daughter identified Shermantine in a photo lineup and said her father had worked and used drugs with both men. Martin’s remains have not been recovered and his case remains open.

Did anyone in Stockton or Lodi know Phillip, his routines, or see that gold 1987 Chevrolet in late September or October 1993?
