Carlton McCarthy Ireland, 54, was last seen in Zephyrhills, Florida, on May 1, 2007. Family concern grew after months without contact; when relatives checked his home on November 3, 2007, both Carlton and his red Toyota Tercel were gone. The house appeared undisturbed and no personal belongings were missing, suggesting he did not take obvious items before disappearing.

Investigators report no substantial leads and no indication that Carlton left the country. The vehicle is still considered missing along with him and the case remains open and unsolved. It is not known what happened to Carlton.

Anyone who saw Carlton, his red Toyota Tercel, or who has information about his movements in Zephyrhills between May and November 2007 is asked to contact local law enforcement.
