Ricky L. Davidson, 31, was last known in the Jamestown area of Fentress County, Tennessee, on July 14, 1989. He had driven from his home in Smyrna to visit family in Pickett County, spent a couple of hours with relatives, and then visited a brother-in-law in Fentress County. After leaving Jamestown to return to Smyrna he never arrived.

Davidson is described as a White male with brown hair and brown eyes, about 5 feet 7 inches to 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighing 140 to 145 pounds. He was driving a white 1977 Chevrolet two-door, possibly an El Camino; the vehicle has never been found and no license-plate number or confirmed model is listed. There are no confirmed sightings, a verified route, or accounts of a breakdown, collision, or contact with anyone after he departed.

The missing vehicle removes a key point of origin for the search and leaves a broad corridor between Jamestown and Smyrna to examine. Anyone who saw Ricky, his white 1977 Chevrolet, or has information about that drive on July 14, 1989 is asked to come forward.
