John Theopilus Gladstone was 24 when he disappeared from Eulonia, Georgia, in the late spring of 1980. He was last seen on May 30, 1980. At the time he was described as a Caucasian male, 5 feet 5 inches tall, weighing 155 to 160 pounds, with sandy hair and blue eyes.

Distinctive scars were noted: one on his right-center shin, a two-inch scar on his left tibia, a one-inch scar under his chin, and a four-inch scar on his torso below the pectoral muscle. The initial investigation produced few leads, and the case went cold before the Georgia Bureau of Investigation later took it on. Little information about his social circles, employment, or possible reasons for his disappearance has been publicly disclosed.

John’s profile appears in national missing persons databases and the investigation remains open. If anyone knew John, lived in Eulonia around 1980, or has information that could help, please come forward with tips.
