John Adam Hyde, 39, of Montevallo, Alabama, was last seen on May 6, 2017, when he attended a wedding in his hometown. He missed a scheduled Social Security Administration appointment on May 11 and was reported missing by his family after they could not make contact.

On May 14, 2017, his vehicle was found abandoned near a swimming spot known as the Slab in the Pea Ridge area along the Cahaba River. The car was unlocked, a window was rolled down, and cigarettes belonging to him remained inside — details his family says were out of character and led them to suspect he did not leave voluntarily. Volunteers and search dogs were used in subsequent searches of the area.

The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate, and no public breakthrough has been reported. Does anyone who knew John or who was in the Pea Ridge area that week have information that could help clarify what happened?
