Jefferson Ryles Chapman, 25, disappeared from his parents’ home in Dothan, Alabama, on the evening of December 18, 2013. He was living in the pool house when his father, Wes, returned and found the door locked and barricaded from the inside. After a brief interaction through the door, Chapman suddenly ran out wearing only boxer shorts and no shoes, leaving his wallet, keys, cell phone and paycheck behind.

Witnesses reported seeing him shortly afterward at the entrance to the Bocage subdivision — once appearing to be jogging, another time as if catching his breath after running while yelling that someone was chasing him. That was the last confirmed sighting. Investigators searched extensively, gave nearly two dozen polygraphs to friends and family, and followed unconfirmed leads and sightings, but no solid leads were produced. Chapman was a father and had a history of prescription medication addiction and rehab.

He is described as 6 feet 0 inches to 6 feet 3 inches tall, 175 to 180 pounds, with brown hair, blue eyes and several tattoos including CHAPMAN across his back and Saylor Grace with a heart and key on his chest. Does anyone who lived in Dothan in 2013 remember seeing Chapman that night or have information that could help clarify what happened?
