Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP3151) and 2 other sources
John Curtis Byrd, a 29-year-old man, went missing on March 21, 1991, in Orlando, Florida. At the time of his disappearance, Byrd was described as 5'7" tall, weighing approximately 160 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. His case has remained unsolved for over three decades, and foul play is considered a possibility. Despite the passage of time, few concrete details about the circumstances of his disappearance have emerged.

Byrd's last known whereabouts were in Orlando, and he has not been seen or heard from since. Unfortunately, there are no available details regarding what he was wearing or any personal items he may have had with him at the time. Authorities have not ruled out the possibility of foul play, but there has been no significant progress or public breakthroughs in his case over the years. The Orange County Sheriff's Office continues to investigate, and the case remains open. Despite the lengthy investigation, Byrd's family and local authorities have yet to uncover substantial leads to determine what happened to him that day.

Efforts to resolve Byrd's case have included the involvement of agencies like NamUs, where his profile remains active, and the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, which is still seeking information that could shed light on his disappearance. However, the case remains one of the many unresolved missing person cases in Florida.
