Clifton Leonard Missing Person Case

Clifton Patrick Leonard, a 16-year-old from Lakeland, Florida, was last seen on August 22, 1983. His father had dropped him off at Lake Hollingsworth to meet friends, but when his father returned later that evening to pick him up, Clifton was nowhere to be found. He has not been seen or heard from since. His parents reported him missing two days later, and a subsequent search of his room revealed that a screen had been removed from his window. Clifton had taken a small bag with a bathing suit, a change of clothes, and $20, but he left behind important items like his new glasses, school clothes, and, most notably, his medication for schizophrenia, which he had been diagnosed with years earlier.

Clifton, who wore eyeglasses and was taking Thorazine for his mental health condition, had experienced emotional breakdowns in the past. Despite this, his family did not believe he had run away, as he had never done so before and was excited about returning to school. His friends told investigators that Clifton had left Lake Hollingsworth in a car driven by an unidentified individual, but no suspects have been named, and the circumstances surrounding his disappearance remain unclear. Over the years, his case has remained unsolved, and his family continues to hope for answers.
