Jeffery Allen Burchett, 36, was last seen in Bristol, Virginia at about 2:00 a.m. on October 3, 2018. A father and Marine veteran who was experiencing homelessness, he was known to do occasional yard work and to spend time near the Salvation Army on West State Street.

On the night he vanished a witness reported hearing screams from the area of a dumpster behind the Salvation Army Thrift Store around the time the dumpster was being emptied. A bicycle and a backpack later confirmed as Jeffery’s were found near that dumpster, prompting a search of a local landfill in case he had been inside when the dumpster was emptied. Despite a thorough landfill search, Jeffery was not located.

His family has publicly appealed for information and remains without answers. If anyone has information about Jeffery’s movements that night or his whereabouts, please come forward.
