Nehemiah Magney, 23, disappeared from Gainesville, Florida after last being seen leaving a motel room alone on July 20, 2016. He stopped all communication with family and friends that day and has not been located since. At the time he was described as biracial, brown hair, brown eyes, about 6 feet 2 inches and 150 pounds, with a tattoo of an animal skull on the left side of his chest. He typically wore long-sleeved button-down shirts, t-shirts, skinny jeans, and black sneakers.

Investigators reviewing his activity before he vanished found internet searches for how to tie a Hangman’s knot and inquiries into remote wooded areas around Gainesville. Financial records show a purchase of a length of rope before he went missing. Police conducted mid-scale searches of those wooded areas but recovered no evidence. The Gainesville Police Department lists the case as an active missing person investigation.

Family and friends describe Nehemiah as wise, mature, and kind, and they have worked to keep his disappearance in the public eye. The case remains unresolved. If anyone saw Nehemiah in Gainesville around July 20, 2016, or has information about his movements before he vanished, please come forward.
