John Skirta, 43, vanished from his home on Pattie Place in Palm Harbor, Florida, on November 10, 2001. He was last seen at the house he shared with his father sometime between midnight and 7:30 a.m. that morning. When his father woke, the back door was slightly open and John was gone.

He left behind eyeglasses, identification and his bicycle. Bloodhounds tracked his scent from the back door to the mailbox, where the trail ended. John had been prescribed medication for depression but did not take it with him. His father described him as withdrawn in the period before he disappeared; John was introverted, intelligent, and had held a number of short-term jobs, including volunteer work at the Helen Ellis Memorial Hospital snack bar.

Law enforcement efforts have not located him and the case remains unsolved. If anyone knew John, his routines, or saw anything near Pattie Place on November 10, 2001, please come forward with information.
