Nathan Chad Adams, 34, was last seen on August 29, 2020, on Halls Top Road in Newport, Cocke County, Tennessee. He is 5 feet 5 inches and about 160 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes. Nathan was described as friendly and approachable; his family reported him missing and the Cocke County Sheriff’s Department opened an investigation.

Searches were conducted, and the Newport community organized vigils and distributed flyers while law enforcement appealed to the public for tips. Investigators report a critical lack of eyewitnesses and no surveillance footage that might show Nathan’s movements, leaving few leads and causing the probe to stall over time. The case remains open.
