Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP5393) and 4 other sources
In the autumn of 2007, a family's life was irrevocably changed when Tony Eugene Woodworth, a 35-year-old man from Charleston, Missouri, vanished without a trace. On the afternoon of October 11, Tony was at his sister's home on North Elm Street. He was reportedly involved in an argument with a neighbor who allegedly owed him money. Following the dispute, Tony left his sister's residence on foot, intending to confront the individual about the debt. He departed with no personal belongings, carrying no money, identification, or a cell phone, and he did not have access to a vehicle. At the time he went missing, he was wearing a white muscle shirt with writing on it, blue shorts, and tennis shoes. This was the last time anyone reported seeing or hearing from Tony.

Tony's family describes him as a person who valued his family above all else and was known for his sense of humor. Just before he disappeared, he had been released from house arrest. His loved ones insist that it was highly uncharacteristic of him to be out of contact, as he always made a point to stay in touch with them regardless of his circumstances. Tony is a white male with brown hair and brown eyes, standing at 5'10' and weighing between 160 and 178 pounds. He has several distinguishing features, including a burn scar on his left arm and numerous tattoos. Among his many tattoos is the word 'Mom' with a cross on one of his arms. He also had a mustache at the time of his disappearance.

In the years following Tony's disappearance, his case has grown cold, leaving his family with unanswered questions and a profound sense of loss. Shortly after he went missing, rumors began to circulate within the community, including the unconfirmed theory that he may have been harmed. Some people in the neighborhood reported hearing a gunshot around the time he was last seen, but this was never verified by law enforcement. Authorities have stated that foul play is a possibility in his case. The investigation has been hampered by the lack of evidence; without a cell phone or credit cards, tracking his movements has been impossible for officials. Despite the passage of time, Tony's family continues to hold out hope, actively spreading awareness about his case in the hopes that someone will come forward with information that could bring him home. His disappearance remains an unsolved and painful mystery for his loved ones and the community.
