John Rowan, 34, vanished from Jacksonville, Florida, on February 23, 2001, under circumstances his family and investigators describe as suspicious. Born in Ireland, he had moved to the U.S. in his twenties and built several businesses, including heavy equipment sales and part-ownership of a pub in St. Augustine. Rowan was last seen by his wife at about 3 a.m. at their home; neighbors later reported seeing his green 1999 Ford Expedition leave around 5 a.m., though they could not tell who was driving.

About a month after he disappeared the SUV was found abandoned near Orlando International Airport, reportedly wiped clean of fingerprints or other obvious clues. Investigators also flagged a recent $3 million life insurance transfer to Rowan’s business partners that his family said was done without their knowledge; a handwriting expert has suggested Rowan’s signature on that paperwork may have been forged. No arrests have been made and the case remains unsolved.

If anyone knew John, his movements that night, or has information about the vehicle or the insurance transfer, please come forward.
