David Eric Campbell, 47, was last seen on December 26, 2021, in New York City’s Times Square. His final known activity was a Facebook Live video in which he appeared with his two white pit bulls, Athena and Aspen. Originally from Belmont County, Ohio (Saint Clairsville and Martins Ferry areas), Campbell led a transient lifestyle and had been homeless for much of his adult life.

He traveled widely, spending time in places such as Nashville and the states of New York, Texas, and Florida, and often returned to Belmont County. He commonly used his middle name Eric and relied on walking, hitchhiking and rides with semi-truck drivers for transportation. Campbell is described as a white male, 6 feet 1 inch, 230 to 300 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. Distinctive tattoos include a neck J with Loyalty above it, a large red and white koi with a red number 7 on his leg, and a spider on his left ankle.

The Belmont County Sheriff’s Office is investigating his disappearance. If anyone saw David, his dogs, or has information about his movements around late December 2021, please come forward.
