Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP20283) and 3 other sources
Jean-Marie Monfort, age 25, was last seen on November 14, 1997, in Naples, Florida. He worked as a dishwasher at Shoney's and Bear's Paw, two local establishments, but had not been seen or heard from for two weeks by the time he was reported missing on December 3, 1997. At the time of his disappearance, Monfort was described as a 5'6" tall African-American male, weighing about 160 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He may have used the first name Jamal and might have been born in either 1972 or 1968.

Despite multiple searches and investigations, very little information has surfaced about Monfort's disappearance. No significant clues or leads have emerged since he was last seen, and the details surrounding his case remain sparse. Monfort's case is categorized as a missing person case, and authorities have not been able to determine whether foul play was involved.

The investigation remains open, and the Collier County Sheriff's Office continues to seek any information that may help resolve Monfort's case. Given the limited information and the length of time that has passed, the case is considered cold, but it is still active in missing persons databases in hopes of eventually finding closure.

Last Seen: Nov 14, 1997
