John was last seen on February 9, 1998, between 10:00 and 10:30 p.m. leaving Buffalo Joe's Food and Spirits, located near Rosenblatt Stadium, where he'd gone with friends to have a few beers. On his way out he told the bartender he was going home. He was seen leaving in his gold four-door 1989 Ford Taurus, Iowa license plate number 977-CLN.
On February 12, John's employer called his parent's to tell them he had not been to work in several days, which was out of character for John. When John's parents arrived at his home nothing was missing that would suggest he went on a trip. His twice-daily insulin injection medicine was found in his home, but the clothes he was wearing the night he disappeared, work computer, and car were missing suggesting he never made it home that night.
