Larry Ford Tabb, 49, disappeared after leaving his mother’s Shelby County, Tennessee home on Thanksgiving, November 23, 2000. He told her he was going to Paragould, Arkansas, to stay with friends. Friends in Paragould said he did arrive but left after a short stay when two acquaintances from Memphis picked him up; that is the last confirmed sighting from that area. The two acquaintances later told investigators they dropped him off and did not see him again.

Tabb was described as a white male, 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 8 inches, 140 to 155 pounds, with light brown shoulder-length hair, brown eyes and a beard. He had scars on his lower right arm and prior fractures to his jaw, left fingers and lower arm, and he suffered from advanced temporomandibular joint dysfunction. He was unemployed and carried a pay-per-month Cricket phone that only had service in the Memphis area. Family and investigators suspect he might have been targeted for robbery, possibly connected to a check from a recent car-accident settlement, and that he may have been killed, but little evidence has surfaced and the case remains unsolved.

If anyone knew Larry’s movements after November 23, 2000, or has information about the acquaintances who picked him up in Paragould, please come forward.
