Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP7183) and 7 other sources
On the afternoon of November 5, 2001, 83-year-old Jd Ferguson was last seen in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He was a resident of the 100 block of Cresta Road in the Broadmoor area of the city. Mr. Ferguson was reported missing after a housekeeper arrived at his home and noticed that several things were out of place. When authorities arrived, they found that his vehicle had been left behind and the residence was locked. At the time of his disappearance, Mr. Ferguson was described as a white male with white hair and brown eyes, standing at approximately 5'10' to 6'0' tall and weighing around 185 pounds. He was last seen wearing a white shirt and dark-colored pants.

The circumstances surrounding Jd Ferguson's disappearance have long been considered suspicious by investigators, who believe that criminal involvement and foul play may have been a factor. Adding to the distress of the situation, Mr. Ferguson's wife of 57 years was in a nursing home and gravely ill at the time he went missing. Tragically, she passed away less than a week after his disappearance. It was noted that a few of his personal belongings were missing from his home, including a money clip and a pair of distinctive matching lamps. The lamps were described as being about three feet tall with ornate, sterling silver bases, slender handles, and white shades. These lamps have never been found.

The investigation into Jd Ferguson's disappearance has faced challenges over the years. His son has publicly expressed frustration with the handling of the case, stating that he was given permission to clean his father's house after the initial police search, only to have investigators return on two subsequent occasions to look for fingerprints after the scene had been cleaned. Mr. Ferguson was known to be a heavy drinker who frequented bars in the Colorado Springs area, and it has been suggested that he may have been depressed. Despite the passage of time, his case remains unsolved and is considered a cold case. The Colorado Springs Police Department continues to be the primary investigating agency for this troubling disappearance.
