Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP54589) and 7 other sources
Joshua Jay Stratton, 33 years old at the time, was last seen on June 20, 2018, in Alvo, Nebraska. On that day, he went grocery shopping with his father, who dropped him off at his home. The next day, a friend visited his house and found the back door open and a carton of chocolate milk left out, which was unusual for Joshua, who was known to be meticulous about keeping food refrigerated. His vehicle and personal items, including his chainmail armor and medication for schizophrenia, were left behind.

Joshua was financially dependent on his family and had a routine of regularly staying in contact with them. His family reported him missing nearly two weeks later on July 2, 2018. Joshua, who often walked around the area, had not taken his car and did not have his necessary medication, raising concerns about his well-being.

Despite extensive efforts, there have been few developments in Joshua’s case. His family, especially his mother, continues to search for answers, refusing to give up hope. They have described his disappearance as out of character and fear foul play, given his mental health struggles and the fact that he did not voluntarily distance himself from family communication or support. Authorities and private investigators have been involved, but as of now, his whereabouts remain unknown.
