Joseph Scott Chaffins, 26, of Pierceton, Indiana, was last seen October 26, 2022, in North Webster after a relative reported dropping him off on EMS W23 Lane. His family has not seen or heard from him since; his vehicle was left behind. He is described as 5 feet 8 inches, about 140 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes.

At the time he disappeared Joseph was wearing a black jacket with a green lining, a flannel shirt, blue jeans, gray shoes, and a black hat. He has several distinctive tattoos: Chaffins on his left forearm, Mama’s Boy on his chest, a red dog on his abdomen, and a cross on his left arm with the names Natalie, Haylee, Aubrey, and Amanda. The Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Office has investigated tips but reports no significant leads.

Family members have continued public efforts to keep the case visible, including a vigil on what would have been his 29th birthday where balloons were released and his mother appealed for information. Does anyone who was in North Webster on October 26, 2022, or who knows Joseph’s circle have information to share?
