John Robert Bobby Davidson, 32, was last seen the evening of November 20, 1965, in downtown Phoenix. A U.S. Navy veteran and appliance repairman for Byassee Equipment Company, he had moved to Phoenix that March after a divorce and was reportedly doing well at work; his employer was considering making him a partner. Witnesses at Kissel’s Cocktail Lounge said he had a single drink and left about 10 p.m., mentioning he was going to get dinner. His Mercedes was later found locked and abandoned in a nearby loading zone with all his work tools — including a $140 electronics tester — stored in the trunk.

Davidson had recently made a car payment and paid rent in advance, left all his clothing and personal items in his apartment, and left his Prescott cabin untouched. Friends, his boss, and acquaintances described him as reliable, well-liked and without known enemies, and they believed he would not have walked away from his life voluntarily. The Phoenix Police Department investigated but no trace of him has been found.

Did anyone in Phoenix in November 1965 see John’s Mercedes, the man who left the lounge that night, or remember any unusual activity near 25 E. Monroe St.?
