Family Seeks Help Finding Missing Man

Orange County sheriff’s investigators today asked for the public’s help finding a missing 85-year-old retired U.S. Marine.

David Coleman Moog last spoke with his family about 11:45 a.m. Sunday when he called them to say he planned to stay at his Mission Viejo home for the rest of the day.

When family members could not reach him again the rest of the day they went to his home to check on him, according to Orange County sheriff’s Lt. Jeff Hallock. Moog and his car were gone and no one has been able to contact him since, Hallock said.

The family considers his disappearance “very uncharacteristic,” Hallock said.

Moog needs a cane to get around and requires daily medication.

Moog is a white man who is 6 feet tall and weighs 173 pounds. He has white hair and blue eyes. His car is an olive green, four-door 2003 Lexus LS430. The license plate is 5EMM911.

Anyone with information about Moog’s whereabouts was asked to call (714) 647-7000 or (714) 647-7044.
