Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP122491)
Spencer David Gogue, a 43-year-old man, was last seen on November 27, 2014, in Los Angeles, California. Spencer, who was deaf, mute, and lived a semi-transient lifestyle, vanished under suspicious circumstances. Despite his vulnerabilities and limited communication abilities, his case has remained unsolved, with few clues available to explain his disappearance. Spencer was known to have tattoos, including a tribal band on his wrist and an Indian head with a braid on one shoulder.

At the time of his disappearance, Spencer was around 5'6" tall and weighed between 120 and 130 pounds. His case was entered into NamUs in 2024, likely due to renewed efforts by his family, especially after his father passed away in 2023. Investigators continue to seek information about Spencer's whereabouts and encourage anyone with leads to contact authorities.
