William Ronnie Staggs, 53, was last seen at his home on Fietzway Road in Dover, Florida, about 1:30 a.m. on February 6, 2007. He told his wife of 32 years he heard a noise outside and went to investigate, taking a shovel, and never returned. His wife later found his house slippers, cigarettes, and eyeglasses in the yard. Family members say he sometimes left for short stays with friends, so he was not reported missing immediately; he was reported missing on February 15, 2007 after he failed to return.

Staggs had lived his entire life in the Dover area, had two children and a grandchild, and his family says he was very attached to home. He had recently been injured in a tree-trimming accident and was due to receive a $16,000 workers compensation settlement that was with his lawyer when he disappeared; the family noted the timing. The family described him as hardworking and recently baptized, and said he sometimes used crack cocaine but did not believe he would voluntarily leave.

A cash reward was offered and later raised to $20,000. The case remains unsolved. Does anyone in the Dover area remember seeing William around February 6, 2007 or know anything that could help locate him?
