Summary based on 1 source
David Adrian Downes, a 44-year-old man, was last seen in early 2006, though the specific date and location of his disappearance are inconsistent across various agency reports. One account states that Downes was last seen at a hotel in the vicinity of the 4500 block of Canyon Drive in Amarillo, Texas, on January 4, 2006. Following this sighting, he has not been heard from again. He is described as a transient.

In contrast, other agencies report that Downes was last seen in Anaheim, California, on December 10, 2005. Due to these conflicting reports, both the Amarillo and Anaheim Police Departments are investigating his disappearance, which remains unsolved.

At the time of his disappearance, Downes was described as a white male with brown hair and blue eyes, standing at 5'11" and weighing approximately 150 pounds. He has several distinguishing tattoos, including one of his initials "D.A.D." on his right wrist and others on both of his upper arms and shoulders. He also has a noticeable gap between his upper teeth and may have had a full beard. He was known to typically wear blue jeans, work boots, a blue or black jacket, and a baseball cap. It is also noted that Downes has an unspecified medical condition and is bipolar.
