Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP1722) and 8 other sources
John Bornos, a 25-year-old man from Cordova, Maryland, was last seen on April 19, 1993. He disappeared under suspicious circumstances, leaving his family and friends concerned and searching for answers. On the day of his disappearance, John was reportedly seen in the vicinity of his home and was expected to return but never did. His sudden disappearance raised immediate alarms, as it was uncharacteristic of him to cut off contact without explanation.

John was described as being 5'8" tall, with brown hair and blue eyes, and had no known reason to leave voluntarily. Despite search efforts by local law enforcement and volunteers, there were few leads in the early days of the investigation. Investigators explored various possibilities, including the likelihood of foul play, but no solid evidence surfaced to explain his disappearance.

As years have passed, John's case remains unsolved, and his family continues to seek closure. Authorities have kept the investigation open, urging anyone with information to come forward. The ongoing mystery of John Bornos's disappearance has left both law enforcement and his loved ones hoping for a breakthrough that could finally provide answers to what happened to him on that fateful day in 1993.

Last Seen: Apr 19, 1993
