David Michael Bowers Jr., 18, was last seen in Affton, Missouri, on September 12, 2021, after a trip to the St. Louis area. Public notices describe him as 5 feet 10 inches and about 128 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes; at the time he disappeared his hair was in dreadlocks with blonde and green tints. He was reportedly wearing a white-and-black hoodie, jeans, and white tennis shoes, and had multiple scars on his arms and several tattoos, including an eye on his right thumb and a tattoo the family identifies as Bart Simpson (sometimes reported as Homer Simpson). He’s been referred to in reports as Debo and DJ.
