Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP88937) and 7 other sources
David Eric Wright, age 48, was last seen on April 27, 2021, in the area of 6000 SW 13th Street in south Gainesville, Florida.

Wright is described as 5'7" tall, weighing around 110 pounds, with graying hair and a receding hairline. Authorities have requested that anyone with information about his whereabouts contact law enforcement.
