On the evening of April 9, 2015, 59-year-old John Thomas Davis was last seen in his hometown of Portsmouth, Virginia. At the time of his disappearance, he was living with his brother. Davis was last seen wearing bright orange pants, an off-white t-shirt, and mismatched shoes. Concern grew when he did not return home, and his family reported him missing on April 11, 2015. Davis is described as a Black male with black hair and brown eyes, standing between 5'5" and 5'7" and weighing between 135 and 155 pounds. He also has a scar on the right side of his face. The circumstances surrounding John's disappearance are unsettling. He left his brother's residence without any form of identification. His family noted that he would sometimes travel to Maryland to visit a female friend, though the specific location in Maryland is unknown. Davis was also known to habitually wander in the Lincoln Park and Douglas Park neighborhoods of Portsmouth. A significant concern for his well-being is that he has a medical condition that requires medication, which he did not have with him at the time he went missing. This has led to his case being classified as an endangered missing person. The Portsmouth Police Department is the investigating agency for this case. Despite the passage of time, few details have emerged to shed light on what may have happened to John Thomas Davis. His family and law enforcement are seeking any information that could lead to his whereabouts. The case serves as a painful reminder of the many individuals who disappear, leaving behind unanswered questions and grieving loved ones. The lack of new information has left his case unsolved, and he has not been heard from since that April evening in 2015.
