John Lester Brown was last seen by family in Lansing, Michigan, the day after Christmas in 1965. He was 29 at the time, a white male with brown hair and brown eyes, 6 feet tall and about 175 pounds. Distinctive tattoos included a black panther with the words Johnny Boy on his upper left arm and another arm tattoo of a dagger and possibly a spider.

After that holiday gathering he vanished without a stated intention to leave and with no immediate signs explaining his disappearance. Family members have mentioned unconfirmed speculation in a social media group that he may have died in a scuba diving accident in 1973, but that has not been confirmed.

Does anyone have memories of John, or information about his life in Lansing in the 1960s that could help this cold case?
