- Details of Disappearance:
- John Spelhaug disappeared from his Ocala, Florida apartment on November 18, 2003. He was last seen near his home on Midway Drive Terrace. He often went for walks in the nearby woods, and it’s thought he may have gone for a walk and never returned. This is unusual, as he’d disappeared for short periods before, but never this long. He left his glasses and medicine behind.
Police investigated a nearby lake in summer 2004 after dogs trained to find bodies indicated something was there. They drained the lake and searched, but found nothing. Spelhaug is still missing, and his disappearance remains a mystery.
