John Lima, 26, of Middleton, Massachusetts, was last seen in the early hours of October 28, 2005. He left his girlfriend’s home in Chelsea at about 1:30 a.m.; his car was heard arriving at his parents’ house in Middleton around 2:00 a.m., but no one saw him go inside. That morning his parents found wallet, keys, and cigarettes left on his bed, his sneakers inside the house, and the bedroom window screen pushed out from the inside, suggesting he may have exited through the window rather than triggering the motion-activated lights at the door.

Despite extensive local searches, no trace of John has been found since that night. Investigators, including the FBI, suspect foul play, but the exact circumstances remain unclear. John had a history of drug abuse and legal trouble in the years before his disappearance; his family says he appeared to have turned his life around and seemed happy at the time he vanished.

John’s case remains unsolved and continues to trouble his family and investigators. If anyone has information about John’s movements on October 28, 2005, or noticed anything unusual in Middleton or Chelsea that night, please come forward.
