David Eugene Todd, 55, of Scott City, Missouri, was last in contact on December 23, 2020. A single-vehicle crash was reported on U.S. 61 at Azalea Drive in Kelso; deputies found the vehicle unoccupied and investigators later concluded Todd was the likely driver. His mother, Donna Todd, reported him missing on the evening of December 28.

Searches began December 29 with a small-area sweep north of the crash site and escalated on January 2, 2021, when the Scott County Sheriff’s Office, SEMO K-9 Search and Rescue and the Region E Homeland Security Response Team conducted a large operation. UTVs, K-9 teams, drones and foot patrols covered the crash area and possible routes back to his home on Woodland Drive, but no trace of him has been found.

David is described as a white male, 5 feet 8 inches tall, 170 pounds, with graying hair and blue eyes. His disappearance remains an active missing person case. If anyone saw David around U.S. 61 or Kelso on or after December 23, 2020, or has information about his movements, please come forward.
