Richard Estabrook 33 was last seen by his apartment manager in Bellingham in May 1989. A month later Estabrook’s identification was found in a pair of jeans on a rock near the water at Marine Park.

I can't find any mentions of his disappearance after this. It looks like he was declared dead (?) with the DOD being approx. when his pants were found but in Sacramento, California, and not Washington.

He's been ruled out as UP7793 (Sept 2001- Sparks, NV) but looks like he was never entered into NAMUS.

I knew Richard "Danny" personally, and as far as I know, he is still missing and assumed dead.
