Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP42853) and 7 other sources
Joshua Lee Wright, a 30-year-old man from Cincinnati, Ohio, was last seen by his family on the afternoon of Friday, February 2, 2018. Known to his loved ones by the nickname 'Gudda Montana,' his disappearance has left a void in the lives of those who know him. At the time he went missing, Wright was described as a biracial male, standing between 5'10' and 6'2' tall, and weighing between 220 and 240 pounds. He was known to often be bald, but when he had hair, it was black. He had brown eyes and a black beard. His appearance was marked by numerous tattoos, including a distinctive pyramid with an eye on his forehead, teardrops under each eye, and the word 'Heartless' tattooed across his throat. Other tattoos included a skull and roses on his right shoulder, a clock on his left bicep, and the phrase 'money over everything' across his chest. He also had tattoos on his hands, including 'Death before Dishonor' on his right and 'RIP TRISTAN' along with his children's names on his left.

On the day he vanished, Joshua Wright was wearing a pair of blue jeans, a t-shirt, and a distinctive bright yellow and deep red jacket. He was also believed to be wearing New Balance or Jordan sneakers, a gold watch, and a gold chain. Four days after he was last seen, on February 6, 2018, his Chevrolet truck was discovered abandoned in the driveway of a business on Forbus Street in Cincinnati. The discovery of his empty vehicle added another layer of concern to his already troubling disappearance. Wright has several distinct physical characteristics, including missing front top and bottom teeth. He also has scars from previous injuries, including a skin graft on his right upper thigh and scars on the left side of his neck, arm, and leg from being shot. Additionally, he has metal pins in his arm and a metal rod in his right leg as a result of these past injuries.

The circumstances surrounding Joshua Wright's disappearance remain unclear, and his case is an active missing person investigation. The Cincinnati Police Department has been handling his case from the beginning. Details regarding the condition of his truck when it was found or any potential leads from the location have not been widely publicized. The lack of new information over the years has been difficult for his family, who continue to hope for answers. The case is a somber reminder of the many individuals who disappear without a trace, leaving their loved ones in a state of perpetual uncertainty. The overview of this case is one of a man who was last seen by his family, followed by the discovery of his abandoned vehicle, with no clear indication of what might have happened to him.
