Details of Disappearance:

In July 1986, a man named Patterson disappeared from Church Hill, Tennessee. The next day, his blue Camaro was found wrecked a short distance from his home. The car had crashed, and it looked like the driver had tried to drive it away after the accident, but got stuck. There was no sign of Patterson, no blood, but his wallet and belongings were nearby.

Patterson was known to wander and travel long distances, but he usually kept in contact with his family. Police first thought he might have been hurt in the crash and had amnesia, but since he was never found, they now suspect foul play. Unfortunately, the case is still unsolved, and although there were suspects, one is dead and the other is in prison for unrelated crimes.
