- Details of Disappearance:
- On February 26, 2017, Hamby left his home in Mishawaka, Indiana, and vanished. He’d just had dinner with his family after staying at a friend’s place, saying he’d be back later. He never returned. He left his belongings, including money and his car—a black 2006 BMW (license plate XJU691)—behind. His bank accounts and credit cards haven’t been used since.
Hamby had a troubled past, including substance abuse, depression, anxiety, and jail time, but he was working to improve his life. He’d gotten a job and regained his driver’s license. He was religious (a Catholic) and loved sports.
His boss and friend, Rob Staley, was one of the last to see him. Hamby seemed unusual that day, admitting he’d stopped taking his medication. His family and Staley believe Hamby didn’t disappear willingly and suspect foul play. The police haven’t solved the case.
