John Thomas Degnan III, 20, of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, disappeared on November 2, 1980, after leaving a note for his parents saying he was going away for a while and would return soon. The note was signed Love John. His car was left parked in the driveway and there was no indication where he had gone.

When he vanished he was wearing a rust-colored t-shirt with a Fisherman’s Wharf logo, blue polyester slacks, and blue and silver sneakers. He had scars under his right nostril, on his shoulder, and acne scarring on his face. Investigators say no evidence has suggested foul play, but the circumstances of his disappearance remain unclear.

The case has stayed open for decades and age-progressed images have been circulated, but there have been no significant leads and he has not been heard from since leaving that note. If anyone knew John, saw him around Fort Lauderdale in late 1980, or has information about where he might have gone, please share what is known.
