Heidi Rhodes, 40, was last seen on May 7, 2012, in Bay County, Florida, with her boyfriend John Hughes. Both maintained regular contact with family, which made their sudden silence and the fact neither was reported missing for several weeks especially alarming. Rhodes lived in Panama City Beach; Hughes lived in Santa Rosa Beach.

Investigation focused on Barry Davis, an acquaintance of Hughes. Davis claimed he was helping Hughes move furniture and manage properties, but was later seen selling Hughes’s Corvette days after the pair vanished and had Hughes’s Cadillac Escalade stored under a tarp in DeFuniak Springs. Investigators reported blood on some of Hughes’s personal items and bank activity showing Davis accessed Hughes’s accounts and withdrew substantial sums after the disappearance.

Davis was arrested and charged with the murders of both Rhodes and Hughes; witnesses, including an ex-girlfriend, said Davis killed the couple and disposed of their remains. Their bodies have not been found despite searches across northern Florida. If anyone knew Heidi’s routines, contacts, or movements in Bay County in May 2012, please share what you remember.
