Phillip James Medlin was 56 years old when he was last seen in Moscow, Idaho, on June 25, 2008. He had dinner with a relative that evening before going back to the Super 8 Motel where he had been staying. The last known contact with Phillip was a phone call he made to his ex-wife at 3:00 a.m. on June 26, 2008. Shortly before his disappearance, on June 17, 2008, his divorce was finalized. He was reported missing by his father on June 29, 2008.
At the time he went missing, Phillip was described as a white male, 5'8" and 190 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He may have had a beard or goatee and wore contact lenses.
The circumstances surrounding Phillip Medlin's disappearance are troubling. He left behind all of his personal belongings at the motel, including his car and essential prescription medication for depression. There has been no activity on his financial accounts, such as accessing investments or cashing paychecks, since he was last seen. The Moscow Police Department has stated that despite the passage of time, no significant leads have emerged to indicate his whereabouts. Investigators re-examine the case periodically in the hope of uncovering new information. His case is classified as an endangered missing person.
The lack of answers has been difficult for Phillip's loved ones. The Moscow Police Department continues to encourage anyone with information regarding his disappearance to come forward. Former Moscow Assistant Police Chief David Duke mentioned in 2008 that Phillip had a medical condition that could have put him in distress without his medication. Authorities have considered various possibilities, including foul play, but the absence of evidence has made it difficult to draw any conclusions. His family has been left to wonder what happened to him after he vanished from the Moscow motel.Last Seen: Jun 20, 2008
