John Christopher Terry, 30, of Hillsboro, Texas, was last seen October 17, 2014, after running errands and visiting a Walmart where surveillance shows him buying pet food and leaving alone in a silver 2014 Jeep Compass. The following day the Jeep was found abandoned on a rural road near Abbott, about 25 miles from his home. His cell phone, pet food and cigarettes were inside the vehicle, but his wallet was missing.

Police found blood spatter on the front door of his residence but no signs of forced entry; investigators say the circumstances raise suspicions of homicide. Officers have followed several leads, including a possible arranged meeting to buy a new bed, but what happened to John remains unclear. He was a devoted father of two and was reported missing after he did not show up for his eldest son’s birthday, atypical behavior for him.

Anyone with information about John’s movements on October 17 or about the abandoned Jeep is asked to contact the Hill County Sheriff’s Office.
