Joshua Tessmer was 19 when he was last seen at Green Meadow Country Club in Pikeville, Kentucky, on January 8, 2009. He was reported missing around 4:15 p.m. after leaving the country club area. At the time he vanished he was wearing a dark-hooded Carhartt jacket, blue jeans and blue Nike shoes.

Investigators found his golf cap on the riverbank near the Levisa Fork of the Big Sandy River, and authorities pursued the theory that he may have fallen into the river. Searches of the river and surrounding area in the days and weeks after his disappearance did not turn up further evidence. Joshua is described as 6 feet 0 inches tall, 190 to 205 pounds, with blond hair and blue eyes, a scar on his right cheekbone and a large cross tattoo on his left shoulder blade. His case remains open with the Kentucky State Police.

If anyone in Pikeville or who visited the Green Meadow Country Club that day remembers seeing Joshua or has information about his movements that afternoon, please come forward.
