David George Rhodes was 24 when he was last seen on June 22, 1988, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He lived with his partner Barry Block at Drake Towers on North Andrews Avenue; both men vanished that day and neither has been heard from since. Their apartment had the air conditioning left on, suggesting they may have expected to return soon, but personal items including Rhodes’ cell phone and briefcase were missing while other belongings were left behind.

Their disappearance is often noted alongside later cases from the same building. In 2004 Mark Jackson, another Drake Towers resident, went missing under similarly unexplained circumstances. Investigators have pointed out commonalities: all three men were gay and each disappearance occurred in late June. Authorities have not found concrete evidence linking these disappearances to Steven Lorenzo, a nearby resident later convicted of murdering other men, but the proximity and similarities have drawn attention.

Who knew David or Barry, or has information about Drake Towers around June 22, 1988?
