On August 25, 2017, 32-year-old Joshua Paul Shields, a resident of Tulsa, Oklahoma, disappeared under perplexing circumstances. He was last seen at the White Crow Tavern, and what began as a typical evening has since turned into a prolonged and agonizing mystery for his family and friends. Known by the nickname 'Okie,' Joshua was a white male with brown hair and brown eyes.
At the time he went missing, he stood between 5'10' and 6'0' tall and weighed between 180 and 200 pounds. His appearance was further defined by a mustache and goatee. The lack of any communication or sightings of Joshua since that night has left his loved ones grappling with unanswered questions and the ache of his absence.
Joshua has several distinct physical characteristics that his family hoped would aid in his identification. He has numerous tattoos, including a Chinese symbol for power on his neck, praying hands on his chest, and a cross on his upper arm. Other tattoos include words on his upper arm and one on his right arm that reads 'MIDWEST, MOB'. He also has a pierced ear and various scars on his right forearm, the small of his back, near his left eye, and a keloid scar on his left flank. Despite these distinguishing features, and the efforts of law enforcement, no significant leads have emerged to shed light on what happened to him after he left the White Crow Tavern.
The investigation into Joshua's disappearance remains open, handled by the Tulsa Police Department. The case has left a void in the lives of those who know him, particularly his mother, who continues to hold out hope for answers. The circumstances surrounding his vanishing are sparse, with few details available to the public. This lack of information has made the search for answers all the more challenging for both investigators and his family. The mystery of what occurred on that August night continues, a painful and unresolved chapter for everyone affected by his disappearance.Last Seen: Aug 25, 2017
