Michael Austin Davis, 26, was last seen in Jacksonville, Florida, on June 26, 2007. Known by his middle name Austin, he left his sister’s home that day, took a taxi to Jax Jewelry and Pawn Shop and bought a shotgun. Witnesses last saw him walking away from the shop with the gun in a duffle bag at the intersection of 103rd Street and Blanding Boulevard.

Family members say Austin had been struggling with depression and had recently been arrested for marijuana possession and driving with a suspended license. He left behind personal items including a laptop, and there has been no activity on his bank accounts or cell phone since he disappeared. Extensive ground searches produced no clues; a possible sighting about a week later was never confirmed. His family says they are baffled by the shotgun purchase because he was generally opposed to guns.

If anyone saw Austin on June 26, 2007, or remembers offering him a ride that day, please come forward with information.
