He is described as a White male, 6 feet 1 inch tall, about 200 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes, a cleft chin, a mole on his left arm and another mole near his right eye.

On the day he vanished Maurino was reportedly wearing a white v-neck shirt with a totem pole design, dark red pants and white loafers. The exact circumstances and precise location of his last sighting remain unclear.
