Details of Disappearance:: On September 24, 2017, a rap artist named McLaughlin vanished from his Jacksonville, Florida home. He was last seen at 10:00 p.m. Strangely, he left behind his car, wallet, ID, and everything else – only his phone and apartment key were gone. This was very unusual; he never disappeared without telling anyone. He was supposed to perform in Georgia soon after, a gig he wouldn’t have skipped. His mom said he’d had a bad car accident in 2014 with a head injury, but recovered fully except for a six-week memory gap from that time. No one knows what happened to McLaughlin, and the case is still a mystery.
