Charles Jonathan Lawson, 42, was last seen on January 13, 1988, in Tampa when he left home, went to a nearby convenience store and called for a taxi. When the taxi arrived Lawson paid for the ride but did not get in; he walked away from the store and has not been seen since.

Lawson is described as a white male about 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighing about 150 pounds, with blond hair and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing blue jeans, a blue polo shirt and a light green jacket. Local investigators, including the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, have handled the case but report few developments.

The circumstances around why Lawson walked away instead of taking the taxi are not known, and confirmed sightings after that morning have not been established. Does anyone have memories of Lawson, that convenience store, or tips about his movements that morning?
