Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP107892)
Jody Dean Davis, 25, went missing on November 9, 1986, from Clearwater, Florida. Little information is available regarding the exact circumstances of his disappearance, but he was last seen in the Clearwater area on that date, and he has not been heard from since. Davis is described as a white male with brown hair, blue eyes, standing at 5'11" and weighing between 170 to 190 pounds. He had distinguishing features, including a tattoo with the initials "SW" on his left upper arm and a round scar on his upper thigh.

At the time of his disappearance, there were no immediate leads or evidence pointing to foul play, although the case has remained open and is considered suspicious. Davis was added to the NamUs database much later, in 2023, which brought renewed attention to his case. His family and investigators continue to seek any information that may shed light on what happened to him. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Clearwater law enforcement.
