Philip Ross Bowling, 43, went missing from Robbins, Scott County, Tennessee, after a July 4, 2021 confrontation on his family’s 300-acre property. The dispute came a day after he escaped from a Knoxville rehabilitation center where he had been after a recent incarceration; family members say he’d been struggling for years with opioid addiction and that his marriage was ending in divorce.

According to reports, Bowling approached his estranged wife Andrea with a rifle and said he intended to harm himself and wanted her to come with him. A client’s arrival interrupted the encounter, a neighbor called police, and Bowling fled into the dense woods. He was considered armed and dangerous and was later the subject of multiple warrants, including aggravated assault, aggravated kidnapping, and aggravated robbery. The Scott County Sheriff’s Office and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation conducted searches and the TBI placed him on its Most Wanted list with a reward offered.

No confirmed sighting or contact has been reported since he ran into the woods. Does anyone who lived in or near Robbins at that time recall seeing or hearing anything that could help locate Philip Bowling?
