Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP9299) and 4 other sources
Gerald Steven Polk, a 26-year-old Gulf War veteran, was last seen on December 21, 1991, at his home on Little Ranch Road in Hudson, Florida. In the time leading up to his disappearance, Polk had expressed feelings of depression and a fear that someone was after him. Despite these concerns, he vanished without a trace that day, and his case remains unsolved.

Polk, who was known to sometimes use the alias "Gregory Scott Polk," was described as standing between 6'0" and 6'3", weighing around 160 to 170 pounds, with brown, curly hair and blue eyes. Due to the circumstances and his mental state at the time, authorities have long suspected foul play in his disappearance, though no concrete leads have surfaced over the years.

The Pasco County Sheriff's Office continues to investigate the case, but despite extensive efforts, Polk has never been located. His case remains classified as endangered missing, and law enforcement encourages anyone with information to come forward.
