Patrick Kevin Taylor, known as Pat, was 27 when he disappeared from the Memphis–West Memphis area in late winter 1986. He was originally from Bethalto, Illinois, and had told people he was considering travel to Kansas and Texas to look for work.

Patrick was described as a Caucasian male about 5 feet 10 inches and roughly 190 pounds (his weight was reported to fluctuate between 175 and 225 pounds), with blue eyes, brown shoulder-length hair that lightened in summer, a mustache, and a scar near his right eye. He may have been treated at VA hospitals in Tennessee, Arkansas, and possibly Missouri. His family provided DNA for comparison against unidentified remains, and Bethalto Police keep his case open.

Has anyone who lived in the Memphis or West Memphis area in early 1986 seen Patrick or heard about him at VA facilities then?
