John Andrews Cheek, 28, vanished from Memphis in early December 1993 after a late-night drop-off at his charcoal-gray 1987 Acura Legend. He was last seen about 11:00 p.m. on December 2, 1993, when a business associate left him at his car in the Crescent Center. He had just returned from a business trip, reportedly sleep-deprived and intoxicated, and did not show up for work the next day.

His home in East Memphis showed unusual signs: unpacked suitcases from the trip and the garage door left open. At approximately 10:40 a.m. the morning after he was last seen, his Acura was found abandoned in an industrial area near the Mississippi and Arkansas Bridge, miles from his home and not on his normal route. The vehicle showed no signs of struggle. Searches of the river and banks followed an early theory that he might have jumped, but nothing was found. Reported sightings across the South, including a truck driver in Virginia who said he’d breakfasted with a disoriented man two months later, were never confirmed. John was legally declared deceased in 2000, but his disappearance remains unsolved.

Does anyone have information about John’s movements around December 2, 1993, or recall his car being seen near the Mississippi and Arkansas Bridge?
