Joshua Louis Wayne Amos, 32, a father of two young daughters, disappeared in the early morning hours of March 19, 2023. Living in Granite City and recently employed, he spent the night at Scarlett’s Cabaret in Washington Park with three friends but left his cell phone at a friend’s house before going out. Surveillance shows him leaving the club alone at about 4:58 a.m. and later at the Jackie Joyner-Kersee Center MetroLINK station in East St. Louis, where a bus driver who encountered him said he appeared cold and disoriented and needed to get to Granite City.

Cameras recorded him waiting at Emerson Park around 6:45 a.m.; he did not board the arriving train. The last confirmed sighting was at 7:28 a.m. on surveillance from Ee-Jay Motor Transports on Lincoln Avenue, walking alone through a parking lot. No bank or card activity followed, and searches by Illinois State Police, family, friends and K-9 teams, plus drone flyovers and foot searches of the nearby area of abandoned buildings and warehouses, have produced no significant leads.

No evidence of foul play has been reported and the case remains classified as a missing person. If anyone saw Joshua on March 19, 2023, or has information about his whereabouts, please come forward.
