James Donald Donnie Dover, 44, was last seen in Forest City, North Carolina, on the evening of January 15, 2022. Witnesses place him at the Speedway on West Main Street about 6:00 PM getting into a blue SUV with an unidentified man. He has not been heard from since.

Dover is 5 feet 11 inches, about 175 pounds, with brown hair, brown eyes, and tattoos on both arms. In the days before he vanished he reportedly suffered an assault in which acetone was thrown in his face, leaving him disoriented and in pain and, his girlfriend said, unable to see. That incident makes his disappearance especially concerning.

The Forest City Police Department is investigating, but no substantial public leads have been reported. If anyone saw Donnie that evening or knows who was in the blue SUV, please come forward with information.
