Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP9968) and 6 other sources
Roger Udo Reinhard, a 23-year-old man, went missing from San Antonio, Texas, on August 25, 1986. On the day of his disappearance, Reinhard was reportedly planning to travel to Dallas, but he never made it, and he has not been seen or heard from since. He stood 6'1" tall, weighed approximately 215 pounds, and had distinguishing physical marks, including human bite scars on his chest, forearm, and ankle. These scars were later attributed to incidents with his wife. He was also known to wear eyeglasses and had brown hair and green eyes.

Reinhard's case remains unsolved, and there are few details about the circumstances of his disappearance. Suspicion was raised after his wife sold his car the day after he vanished. The car was stopped by police, but the buyer was found to be uninvolved. Despite this and other strange occurrences, such as a letter allegedly from Roger that his family believed to be suspicious, his whereabouts remain unknown.

Efforts to resolve the case have been ongoing, with the involvement of various agencies, including the Texas Department of Public Safety. However, after more than three decades, no substantial leads have surfaced, and his family continues to search for answers.
