Spencer David Gogue, 43, was last seen in Los Angeles on November 27, 2014. He was deaf and mute, lived a semi-transient lifestyle, and vanished under suspicious circumstances. His limited ability to communicate and his vulnerable situation were factors noted in the case.

At the time he disappeared Spencer was about 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighed 120 to 130 pounds. He had distinctive tattoos, including a tribal band on his wrist and an Indian head with a braid on one shoulder. His case was entered into NamUs in 2024, after renewed efforts by his family following his father’s death in 2023.

Few clues have emerged to explain what happened. Anyone with information about Spencer’s whereabouts is asked to contact the investigating authorities.
