Mark Anthony Cook was 24 years old when he disappeared from Bluefield, West Virginia, on January 14, 1993. That night, Mark had been at Pedro’s Bar at Airport Square. Around 3:00 a.m., witnesses saw him leaving the bar and heading in the direction of U.S. Route 52. He never made it home and has not been seen or heard from since.
Mark’s disappearance happened just months after the suspicious disappearance of his close friend, Brenda Gail Lambert. Investigators have long suspected that the two cases may be connected, although no one has ever been formally charged. Reports suggest that a man connected to the investigation failed a polygraph test, but there was not enough evidence to move forward with charges.
