Eric James Marko, a 36-year-old male, disappeared from his Wichita, Kansas residence after August 1, 2024, leaving behind his vehicle and pets but taking only his cellphone and laptop. Family discovered his backdoor unlocked when checking on him after losing contact, and his phone now goes straight to voicemail. The circumstances remain unclear—whether this was a voluntary departure or something more concerning—and investigators need information from anyone who may have seen Eric or knows his whereabouts.
