Gary Joseph Parsons, 38, disappeared from Appomattox, Virginia after leaving a friend’s residence on May 23, 2022. He rode a black BMX bicycle with a book bag to return home and collect work clothes for the next day but never arrived. The last known electronic trace was his cell phone’s final signal near Mountain Cut Road the same day; after that the phone went offline or lost power.

Those who knew him say it was out of character for Gary to miss work or to leave his cats unattended, which intensified concern when he failed to return. The Appomattox County Sheriff’s Office has conducted interviews and investigative activity, but has not determined what happened after he left his friend’s house.

If anyone was traveling Mountain Cut Road on May 23, 2022, or has information about Gary’s movements that day, please come forward.
