Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP7088) and 3 other sources
On a spring day in May of 1996, a 34-year-old man named Anthony Mark Davis went to enjoy an afternoon of jet skiing on Lake Washington in Seattle, Washington, and was never seen again. He was reported to have been on the water on May 24, 1996, but he did not return. The jet ski he had been using was later recovered, but there was no sign of Anthony. At the time of his disappearance, Anthony was described as a Black male, standing at approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing around 165 pounds. He had short black hair, brown eyes, and distinctive tattoos: the word 'Touchdown' on one shoulder and the words 'Love' and 'Hate' in an unknown location. He was last seen wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans, along with sunglasses, a gold watch, and a ring.

The disappearance of Anthony Davis has remained a perplexing mystery for decades. Authorities launched investigations and conducted searches in the vast expanse of Lake Washington, but their efforts yielded no significant clues as to what might have happened to him. The recovery of his jet ski only deepened the mystery, offering no explanation for his sudden vanishing. Over the years, the case has grown cold, with very few leads or new information surfacing to provide any semblance of an answer to the questions that have haunted his loved ones and investigators alike. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance are still unclear, with possibilities ranging from a tragic accident on the water to other, unknown causes.

Despite the passage of time, the case of Anthony Mark Davis remains open. His family and law enforcement continue to hold out hope that someone, somewhere, may have information that could finally shed light on what happened on that day in 1996. His case is a poignant reminder of the enduring pain and uncertainty that families of missing persons face. The lack of closure has left a void in the lives of those who knew and loved him. The official investigation, led by the Seattle Police Department, continues to seek any information that could help resolve this long-standing mystery and bring peace to his family.
