John Thistlewood was 37 when he disappeared after dropping his two children at a relative’s home on South American Street in Philadelphia on the evening of September 11, 1992. He told family he’d be back shortly but never returned. At the time he was wearing a red silk shirt, black jeans and black sneakers. He is a white male with brown hair, brown eyes and a thick mustache.

John was driving a white two-door 1992 Ford Explorer, Pennsylvania plate XTX-633. Neither he nor the vehicle has been seen since that night. He was known to frequent the Wildwood, New Jersey area in 1992, though any connection to his disappearance is unclear. The Philadelphia Police Department investigated, but the case went cold and his whereabouts remain unknown.

If anyone has information about John’s movements on September 11, 1992, or ever saw that Ford Explorer after he left the relative’s house, please come forward.
