Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP34001) and 1 other source
It was in the spring when Ronald Wayne Davis, a 57-year-old man from Marietta, Georgia, was last seen. Known to his friends and family by the nicknames TJ or Tigger, he disappeared on or around May 1, 2015. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as a white male, standing between 5'10' and 6'0' tall, and weighing between 150 and 180 pounds. He had graying brown hair, which he sometimes wore long and at other times short, and hazel eyes. Distinctive physical characteristics included a number of scars: one on the bridge of his nose, another on his left calf, one on his upper right back, and a circular burn scar on his left ribcage. He also had a pot belly, a hooked nose, and a jutting chin. It is noted that he wore upper dentures, having lost all of his upper teeth, and had many missing lower teeth as well.

The circumstances surrounding Ronald's disappearance suggest a transient lifestyle. It is believed that he may have been traveling, likely by hitchhiking, across the southern and southwestern regions of the United States. His exact route or intended destination remains unknown, leaving a wide and uncertain path for investigators to follow. The lack of a clear travel plan has made it difficult to pinpoint his whereabouts after he left Georgia. His case is being handled by the Cobb County Police Department, who have been seeking information from the public to help piece together the timeline of his movements and locate him.

More than a year and a half after he was last seen in Georgia, a potential sighting offered a glimmer of hope and a new direction for the investigation. There was information suggesting that Ronald might have been in Boulder, Colorado, in December of 2016. This lead provided a new geographic focus for the search efforts, though it remains the last known potential location for him. The overview of the case is one of uncertainty, as a man left his home and seemingly vanished while possibly traveling the country. With no confirmed sightings or contact since the unverified information from Boulder, the trail has gone cold, leaving his loved ones without answers and his case unresolved. The investigation remains open, awaiting any new information that could shed light on what happened to Ronald Wayne Davis after he disappeared from Marietta.
