Barry Schmalbach, 56, of Cape Coral, Florida, was last seen July 19, 2023. His disappearance led to an extensive investigation that included local and federal authorities. Barry’s live-in boyfriend, Christopher Davis, reported him missing on July 22; inconsistencies in Davis’s account prompted investigators to arrest Davis on charges of second-degree murder and tampering with evidence.

The case raises the central open question of where Barry’s remains are and what happened between July 19 and July 22.

If anyone saw Barry during those days, knew where he spent time in Cape Coral, or has other information that could help locate him, please come forward to investigators.
