Authorities search for Missouri doctor who has been missing more than a week​

Authorities in a small Missouri town are searching for an emergency room physician a week-and-a-half after his mysterious disappearance.

Dr. John Forsyth, 49, was last heard from May 21. Police said he was reported missing when he failed to show up for work that day at Mercy Hospital in Cassville, a town of 3,100 residents deep in the Missouri Ozarks.

Forsyth’s black Infiniti was found in a remote area near an aquatic park in Cassville. The car was unlocked with his wallet, two phones and a laptop inside.

Several law enforcement agencies, including the Missouri State Highway Patrol, have joined in the search using people, dogs and drones. Forsyth’s family set up a Facebook page seeking information.

Richard Forsyth said his brother had been at the Cassville hospital for about 15 years. He described John Forsyth as a doting father who became engaged to his girlfriend just a couple of days before he disappeared.

You might want to listen to what she says she has verified through the sheriff's dept. and why she was there the day prior.

Sure the sheriff's dept might have lied to her but all we have to go on is from the sheriff and the brother. That's it

A lot going on in this area. No time to listen to it but I'm guessing she was there due to the missing child...

What came of that by the way...?

 

[Guess Who]

his home as per court records and news stations all over springfield area; He renovated the upper floor into a very large home.

 

[Guess Who]

That's interesting. All I know is that the sheriff said he lived in Springfield with his fiance.

Btw, the sheriff also said that among difficulties of the case is the fact that John wasn't from Cassville. Now what do you suppose he meant by that?

he isn't from cassville is exactly what it meant. He's not. He worked there. He lived in Aurora and/or Springfield(fiance lives in/near Springfield) and his brother and him are from Canada

I don't think anybody is lying... and I may be repeating myself but it appears to me that Richard has shared info as he's understood it to be, in other words, as he's come to understand it from LE.
It seems to me that there needs to be clarification from the sheriff and that reporter as to what the video does and does not show.

I don't think they've lied to her but I highly doubt they've shared any info with her that they haven't shared with the family.

And I highly doubt they've shared much with Richard who even so has said so very much.... In almost any case, this man would be seen to be inserting himself in the investigation and public views of it. That is understandable to a point as a grieving family member who wants answers but it is beyond that... More so you don't want to mess up justice for that "murdered" family member and that takes precedence. Imo.

I'd believe what LE said to her before Richard. They will look at him as suspect. They may feed him info, true or false, in an interrogation but I am going to about bet if they have't cleared him that he is not being told sh*t by LE as to facts.

I disagree with you that he is sharing things from them as he knows them. Half of his sh*t has been stuff he claims. Maybe more than half by far.

I wish I had more time and wish Guessy did. I'd like to know about this gun blip with 'Richard. If you have time or a chance and look at it, share it. Not expecting you to, just asking if you do watch it to share.

You don't see a difference between one stating a very specific happening and the other one saying that it didn't happen?

I don't think that's the situation.
She said there's no video of Forsythe walking around in his car. (I know "in" his car doesn't make sense but that's precisely what I heard her say.)
Anyway, I think the main idea she's trying to convey is just that the video can't and doesn't positively identify Forsythe.

 

[GrandmaBear]

I don't think they've lied to her but I highly doubt they've shared any info with her that they haven't shared with the family.

I doubt they have shared much with family. They aren't going to unless ALL family is cleared and if they do, it would be strategic until ALL cleared.

On the other hand, I can believe they'd let a reporter know that facts someone else put out there (Richard) aren't fact so don't run with it...

 

[Regina]

he isn't from cassville is exactly what it meant. He's not. He worked there. He lived in Aurora and his brother and him are from Canada

Yeah, I knew he wasn't from there.

 

[GrandmaBear]

Nobody has claimed they shared with her what they didn't share with family, just that what they told her disputes what the brother has said.

EXACTLY. They will not confirm his "info".

 

[Guess Who]

How is this in any way saying he couldn't afford a home?? His divorce was JUST finalized.

The decree estimated the value of John Forsyth’s business interests outside his cryptocurrency holdings at $1 million.

A Missouri doctor's death is steeped in mystery and speculation. Authorities aren't talking

Many of the people who knew John Forsyth are at a loss to explain the Missouri emergency room doctor's death.

and might I add that the only person saying he was broke, etc was whom???

 

[GrandmaBear]

It sounds to me like there's a misunderstanding.

No offense intended at my laughing emoji, it isn't at you but it is at taking it that way, I mean really? What is a misunderstanding?

 

[GrandmaBear]

and might I add that the only person saying he was broke, etc was whom???

I can't keep up, sorry, still way back on here but let me guess. RICHARD??? Same person who said he was wealthy? When did he say broke as honestly I don't recall him saying that. I am not keeping up at the moment.

which means the brother can't say it was a video of john walking away from the car. They don't know who it was at all. They are specifically telling her that they don't know who was driving it. He is stating specifically that it shows his brother. for all we know, it could show the brother, couldn't it?

 

[Guess Who]

Yeah, I knew he wasn't from there.

so I'm not sure what your question was. We've seen many cases where hands were tied simply because the missing person wasn't from the area they went missing in.

 

[GrandmaBear]

The reporter, herself, referred to the motorhome as a "luxury" motorhome!
The context in which the brother even mentioned the thing is that there was talk that since John couldn't afford a traditional home, he had to live in a camper in the parking lot outside the hospital!

A 250K motorhome would be considered luxury to many who paid less than that for their homes. I'm not going to go down the motorhome thing right now because I don't see the point but that can be looked at different ways depending on where one lives and their walk of life.

I think all that matters is that Richard considered it luxury, not whether we do or don't.

I don't think you understood what I was saying.
The brother referred to the motorhome merely to set the record straight that John was not on hard-times, that he wasn't having to live in a dinky camper outside his workplace, that the motorhome was only for convenience.

So let's find and post the video to refresh us all. I may be all wet and am so busy but think I'm right on this (am I?), we have never seen any video have we or have I just forgotten? Maybe I have as you talk of it as if it has been seen and released. I think this would be a good point in this thread to link/show it again if that is the case.

WHERE is the video? I don't mean to interrupt the play by play here but WHO has actually seen one? Has Richard? Has the reporter? Has LE? I honestly don't recall one EVER being shown but details of it are given here like what someone was wearing etc. Let's clarify for future thread readers if one has EVER been shown or released? Has one? Is there one?

I misread then. I read it as you were stating the brother said he was broke.

I've said all along he wasn't actually living in the RV and that it was just a really comfy place to rest on his 24 hour shifts.

 

[Guess Who]

I sure would like to hear the ex. I bet she has some stories to tell! It seems she filed for divorce in the same time frame as this kidnapping story.

He's said that the video is too blurry but that the colors of the clothing match what John was wearing.
