Anton Lawson, known as Tony, was 21 and a father of two when he disappeared from his New Orleans neighborhood in the summer of 2000. He worked for his father’s moving and painting businesses and was described as rarely venturing far from the area. On August 1, 2000, his father saw him briefly at their Banks Street home; Anton changed clothes and left. The father returned that evening to find him gone. The next morning, August 2, Anton came back to change clothes and left again — that was the last confirmed sighting.

He was last seen wearing a gray t-shirt, gray shorts, and light-colored tennis shoes. Distinguishing features include a surgical scar on the left side of his neck, a scar on his left cheek, tattoos reading Parmala on his left hand, Tony on his neck, and P. Lawson on his right forearm, and four gold teeth in his upper front jaw. The New Orleans Police Department handled the investigation, which remains open but cold. Few facts are known about what happened after August 2, 2000.

If anyone knew Anton, lived near Banks Street in 2000, or has information about his whereabouts, can you help provide leads?
