- Details of Disappearance:
- On January 11, 2002, a man named D’Aquisto got into an argument with his wife in Asheville, North Carolina, and drove off in his red-burgundy Toyota Tacoma truck. He was never seen again.
Six months later, his truck was found abandoned in a Kingsport, Tennessee, hotel parking lot. It had been there since January, but there’s no sign he ever stayed at the hotel. He knew the area, as he often drove through Kingsport on trips to New York to see family.
He left behind everything, even his camera, which is strange because he loved photography. He also stopped paying his bills and union dues, things he always did. His family says he was a responsible, honest man who wouldn’t just leave his wife of 30 years without a word.
The mystery of what happened to D’Aquisto remains unsolved.
