Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP30070) and 2 other sources
Delbert Arnold David, aged 50, disappeared from Fort Walton Beach, Florida, on August 16, 1993. He was last seen in the area, and since then, no trace of him has been found. At the time of his disappearance, David was described as a 6'1" tall Caucasian male with brown hair, possibly turning gray, and gray eyes. He had several distinguishing scars, including a six-inch scar on his left elbow and additional scars on his abdomen, chest, and neck.

David, a U.S. Air Force veteran, had no significant personal items or clothing descriptions recorded at the time of his disappearance. Authorities have been working on the case, but few details about the circumstances surrounding his disappearance have emerged over the years. His case remains unsolved, and he has not been heard from since that day.

The Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office continues to investigate the case, seeking any leads that could bring closure to this decades-long mystery. His information has been entered into various missing persons databases, including the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs), but despite efforts to locate him, no breakthroughs have been reported.
