On the last day of 2022, a 64-year-old man named David William Ross was seen for the last time in Winchester, Virginia. At the time of his disappearance, he was experiencing homelessness in the Winchester City area. The last confirmed sighting of him was off of Baker Lane in Frederick County on December 31, 2022. When he went missing, it was noted that he was wearing distinctive black 'Frogg' motorcycle rain gear, with the jacket having a lime green stripe. He was also carrying a black backpack that was equipped with a waist strap.

David is described as a white male, standing at 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing around 140 pounds. He is bald with grey stubble for facial hair and has hazel eyes. A notable identifying feature is a tattoo of an eagle on his left forearm.
