John Lee was 21 when he vanished from his family’s home on East Taft Avenue in Appleton, Wisconsin, on the evening of June 20, 2015. Earlier that day he had spoken with police about a criminal trespassing complaint. He left the house later that evening walking alone toward Lawrence University and did not return.

John left behind belongings he normally kept with him: his vehicle and phone were later located at a friend’s house, and his laptop remained at home. Family members say he had a pattern of leaving for days or weeks but always stayed in touch; this time there was no contact. He had a history of mental health struggles, including past self-harm and a prior overdose suicide attempt. Investigators treated a minor theft from his bedroom the day before as not connected to the disappearance.

Police searched extensively, deploying dive teams, sonar and drones to the Fox River and areas as far as Kaukauna and Little Chute, but no trace of John has been found. Does anyone who knew John, lived near East Taft Avenue, or was in the Lawrence University area that night have information that could help locate him?
