Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP13846) and 4 other sources
Jackson Wade Orvin, a 24-year-old man from Naples, Florida, went missing on June 6, 1984. On the day of his disappearance, he left his home to go to a store and was never seen again. His wife reported that he never returned, and despite the passage of time, his family has not heard from him since. At the time of his disappearance, Orvin was described as 5'8", weighing between 150 and 160 pounds, with curly brown hair, a beard, and a mustache. He also had multiple distinguishing scars, including a half-moon scar above his right eye, burn scars on his left arm, and other marks from injuries he had sustained in the past.

Orvin’s case has puzzled investigators for decades. He was last seen in Naples, and though efforts were made to locate him, no significant clues have emerged about his whereabouts. He is listed in multiple databases, and his case remains open with the Collier County Sheriff's Office, which continues to seek tips from the public. His family and law enforcement hope for any new information that could help solve the mystery of his disappearance.

Forensic data, including dental records, fingerprints, and DNA, are available in hopes that it may one day lead to a breakthrough in his case.
