Richard Jerry Davidson, Jr. was 41 when he stopped having confirmed contact with family; he last spoke with a sister in 2002 and was seen by his girlfriend in early 2003 in Mittie, Louisiana. He was not reported missing to the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office in Lake Charles until February 24, 2004, creating a long and uncertain gap in the timeline.

Sometimes using the name Danny Jones, he is described as a white male with brown hair and brown eyes, about 5 feet 4 inches to 5 feet 8 inches tall and 135 to 150 pounds. Distinguishing marks include a Dillon tattoo on the top of his right forearm, a mosquito hawk covering a syringe on his inner arm, unspecified prison tattoos on his left arm, a Playboy bunny on his left calf, Karen tattooed on the inside of his left ankle, and a scar on the top of his right forearm. Clothing and belongings at the time of disappearance are not recorded.

The case is officially classified as unknown; the delayed report and lack of substantive leads have hindered the investigation and left the family with unanswered questions. Does anyone who knew Richard, saw him in Mittie in early 2003, or recalls the alias Danny Jones have information to share with the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office?
