John Patrick Morrissey, 62, was last seen July 14, 1999, near International Falls, Minnesota. He was observed sitting in his 1985 Chevrolet Suburban by the roadside on U.S. 71, about 45 miles southwest of International Falls; after a deputy checked on him he declined help and said the vehicle would start again. When the area was rechecked later Morrissey had vanished, leaving the unlocked Suburban, his wallet, and two dogs behind — items his family says was uncharacteristic.

Morrissey had been treated for depression and was not taking his prescribed medication at the time. A witness later reported seeing him walking down the road in a manner that suggested disorientation and as if he wanted to be hit by a passing car. Extensive searches turned up no further traces.

Morrissey grew up in St. Paul, taught carpentry at St. Paul Technical Institute for more than two decades, and was active in the Knights of Columbus and the Democratic Party. His wife and six children believe he may have died, but his whereabouts remain unknown. If anyone saw John Morrissey or the 1985 Chevrolet Suburban around July 14, 1999, please share what was seen.
