John Abbott was 13 when he left home in Memphis, Tennessee, on a spring day in April 1998 to go skateboarding at a friend’s house. He is described as blond or strawberry-colored hair, blue eyes, 5 feet 2 inches and about 110 pounds. The last confirmed contact was the conversation with his mother; he never returned and a missing persons report was filed on May 1, 1998.

The Memphis Police Department is handling the investigation and the case file was added to the NamUs database on February 26, 2020. Few other details are available about what he was wearing or any distinctive marks.

Does anyone remember John, his friend group, or where local skate spots were in Memphis that spring of 1998?
