Hooiman has the following tattoos: a rose and a cross on the back of his left shoulder, the initials "DH" on his right arm, and the phrase "Remember who you are" on his right upper arm at the shoulder. He had a mustache and goatee at the time of his disappearance. Information on the case from local sources, may or may not be correct : Hooiman was last seen in Salt Lake City, Utah on November 20, 2017. He was on parole for drug- and theft-related offenses and was staying at the Fortitude Treatment Center, a men's halfway house, at the time of his disappearance. He would leave the center each day to go to work. He spoke to his mother that morning and made arrangements for them to have lunch together. They were going to meet near a construction site at the Intermountain Medical Center in Murray, Utah. Hooiman's mother tried to call him to get a more specific location to meet him at, but her call went straight to voicemail, indicating the phone was turned off. He never showed up for lunch and has never been heard from again. It's uncharacteristic of Hooiman to leave without warning or to be out of touch with his mother. He was reportedly having some problems with unspecified individuals at the Fortitude Treatment Center at the time of his disappearance. Because of his status as a parolee, he was listed as an absconder from parole until late 2019, then police decided to reclassify him as a missing person. In March 2021, authorities stated they were treating the case as a possible homicide; a confidential federal informant has claimed Hooiman was murdered. His case remains unsolved. Other information and links : ncy Salt Lake City Police Department 801-799-3454 September 2021 updates and sources A missing person is a person who has disappeared and whose status as alive or dead cannot be confirmed as their location and condition are not known. A person may go missing through a voluntary disappearance, or else due to an accident, crime, death in a location where they cannot be found (such as at sea), or many other reasons. In most parts of the world, a missing person will usually be found quickly. While criminal abductions are some of the most widely reported missing person cases, these account for only 2�5% of missing children in Europe. By contrast, some missing person cases remain unresolved for many years. Laws related to these cases are often complex since, in many jurisdictions, relatives and third parties may not deal with a person's assets until their death is considered proven by law and a formal death certificate issued. The situation, uncertainties, and lack of closure or a funeral resulting when a person goes missing may be extremely painful with long-lasting effects on family and friends. Several organizations seek to connect, share best practices, and disseminate information and imAge at the time of disappearance: s of missing children to improve the effectiveness of missing children investigations, including the International Commission on Missing Persons, the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC), as well as national organizations, including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children in the US, Missing People in the UK, Child Focus in Belgium, and The Smile of the Child in Greece. |
