Patrick Chapman
Missouri father Patrick Chapman has been missing since Mother’s Day, 2020, when he disappeared from Mill Spring. The 34-year-old arrived at a family friend’s house around 10:00 p.m. on the evening of May 10. By the next morning, Patrick and the 1995 burgundy Escort Station Wagon he had been driving were both gone. On June 5, his car was found about two miles away on a 4-wheeler path in Wayne County. The car had bumper damage and flat tires. Patrick’s wallet, containing his ID and bank card, was found inside the car, but his cell phone and car keys have not been located. His ex-wife, Jen, told Dateline that Patrick, who worked as a tow-truck driver, was known to couch surf or go camping, so it was believed he had just moved on to a different location. But when no one heard from him over the next couple of weeks, on May 30, 2020 a family friend reported him missing to the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office. In 2021, Missouri State Highway Patrol Corporal. J.T. Wilson, who has been assisting the sheriff’s office since mid-June 2020, told Dateline the case remains a missing persons case and there have been no recent updates. Family and friends are now offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to Patrick’s whereabouts. A Facebook Page '
