Steven Daniel Paul was 23 when he left Oklahoma City for Chattanooga and vanished after boarding a Greyhound bus on December 2, 1999. The last confirmed contact was on December 4, 1999, from Nashville, where he called his grandfather from payphones and said he had been kicked off the bus for having beer on his breath and needed money. His luggage continued on and arrived in Chattanooga without him.

At the time he disappeared Steven was described as a Black male, 5 feet 10 inches, about 155 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes; he may have had a mustache, beard, or goatee and was possibly wearing a dark jacket with a corduroy collar and light brown corduroy pants. He had a history of seizures and memory loss and required medication, which raised concerns about his safety after he left the bus station. The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department opened a case, but investigators lacked leads about his movements after those phone calls.

If anyone saw Steven in Nashville on or after December 4, 1999, or remembers a man matching his description leaving a bus station, please share what you know.
