David Emerson Jr, 35, of Snyder, Texas, was last seen on December 24, 2014, after attending a family gathering for his cousin’s birthday. He left the party to return to the residence he shared with several roommates and spoke with his mother that evening; that call was the last known contact with his family. His disappearance was out of character because he normally stayed in touch with loved ones.

Some reports place him in the Lubbock area, but that has not been confirmed. Distinguishing features include a scar from a metal implant under his right eye, multiple piercings, and a shoulder tattoo reading DEE. The case remains open and law enforcement is asking for public help.

If anyone knew David, saw him around December 24, 2014, or has information about his possible movements toward Lubbock, please come forward with what you know.
