John Franklin Gregory, 44, of Austin, Texas, was reported missing July 6, 1997. He was last seen walking along Highway 20 about two miles west of Texas 71 wearing a black leather jacket, a t-shirt with purple and teal stripes, gray pants or blue jeans, and a black motorcycle helmet.

Gregory suffered memory loss and required daily medication for mood and a blood condition, making his disappearance especially worrying because he would have been without necessary treatment. Authorities suspected he may have been trying to reach family in Bastrop, Texas, but he never arrived and has not been heard from since. The Austin Police Department lists him as endangered missing and the case remains open.

Few concrete leads have emerged over the years and the family still lacks answers. If anyone has information about John Gregory or remembers seeing him near Highway 20 or Bastrop around July 6, 1997, please contact the Austin Police Department.
