Robert Joey Moran, 47, vanished from Pass Christian, Mississippi on the morning of Sunday, July 14, 2019. A local auto body shop owner and family man, he left his home around 10:00 a.m. not in his own car but in a friend’s 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, leaving his cell phone and identification behind. He was wearing a pink or salmon-colored fishing shirt, khaki shorts and socks, but no shoes.

Accounts of his departure conflict. His wife said he was going to his hunting club, yet he took nothing for such an outing. Others present that morning said he may have had a medical episode and left through a bathroom window before driving away. Two days later the Malibu was found abandoned on the side of westbound Interstate 10 near the 8-mile marker in Hancock County with its hood up; the vehicle was operable and one of Moran’s credit cards was inside. That card was later used at a Picayune gas station during the period he was missing, although it is not confirmed who made the purchase.

No sign of Moran has been reported and his family continues to seek answers. If anyone knew Moran, saw him that July morning, or has information about the Malibu on I-10, please come forward.
