John Douglas Boone was 39 when he was last seen in Saint John on Christmas Eve, December 24, 1998. He is described as a Caucasian male, 5 feet 9 inches, about 300 pounds, with short brown hair and hazel eyes. When he disappeared he was wearing a green, fleece-lined coat and brown suede shoes.

Boone’s family was originally from the St. Andrews area. He struggled with depression and reportedly had not been taking his medication around the time he went missing, a fact that heightened concern for his welfare. The Saint John Police Force investigated but the days and weeks after his disappearance produced no significant leads.

There is still no public resolution to what happened to him or where he might be. If anyone knew John’s habits, where he spent time, or saw him in Saint John around December 24, 1998, please share information with the Saint John Police Force.
