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.

Because there's nothing about it that makes any sense!

Well it makes as much sense as any adult who has been kidnapped and escaped or was let go. Or if it was drugs or a loan shark, someone owed something, he could have just been roughed up or had the sh*t scared out of him and he begged for more time or told them he would do this or that or he was sent home to do exactly that OR to get drugs, etc.

I don't know that it doesn't make any sense as almost anything we know about John comes from the brother, not from John or others near to him. He well could have been dealing something with the # of cell phones he allegedly had.

It does seem outlandish BUT so does his murder and he was hiding many things apparently. He was killed someHOW and likely by SOMEONE and for SOME reason.

Maybe this final time was the same guy/s and he was out of time, didn't do as promised and they offed him. How is it he got so far away from his vehicle? Hmm. Sounds a bit like a kidnapping wouldn't you say...?

I don't know. I will say it was the brother who SHARED this story with the public so the only one who has said anything that makes no sense is his brother. John didn't share it with us.

I guess for me, I have no reason to lean towards who is/was lying or IF it is even a LIE, maybe it is truth.

I don't know how we'd know that or anything else. We really do not know anything when one thinks on it.

Did he call an Uber and get dropped off? Doubtful.

Hitchhike and get dropped off? Doubtful.

Have a plan and executed it? More likely but that fits more if he wasn't found dead.

Otherwise honestly suicide fits best other than why go there and how?

Murder fits as well, maybe more so, but not sure why or how you think he was there alone? What tells you he wasn't killed there or dumped there?

There is no Uber service down there. Springfield, but not Aurora or cassville. Plus there is a record of it when it happens. And it would be super easy to get the records for that trip since it would be such an anomaly.

That was kind of my sarcastic point with Uber. No driver has come forward, no record and he did no such thing. Pretty much what I meant. Not that he couldn't have arranged some type of ride or paid someone/planned such but I think it is a real leap.

Yeah I was being sarcastic. With the hitchhiking too, why wouldn't someone come forward and say yeah, I gave this dude a ride?

I know you were. I was just stating how rare it would be and what a rate the driver would have made that it would have been easy to find.

Well, when he left his vehicle, he was there alone, I mean, there's no indication that anyone else was there when he walked out of view.

But what do we know of that could have happened out of view of the camera? There easily could have been someone right out of view.

But for me, there'd have to be an indication of that and there just isn't.
What we do know is that John parked his vehicle in a very strange place and walked away from it leaving it unlocked and btw, it's my understanding that his motorhome was also found unlocked.

Nobody locks anything down there. Most go inside the stores with their cats left unlocked and running. That isn't shocking at all

Who knows. It appears to me he had some plan and one would think that would mean with someone else. What was he up to otherwise? An elaborate ruse to commit suicide some miles away with no knowledge of how he could have gotten there and no proof of suicide (that we know of)? It also isn't like he tried to make it look like murder if so as far as we know. He was simply found in water wasn't it? Miles away. Of course LE knows more than we do which is little imo.

We know so little in my way of looking at this, there is no reason to exclude anything or even believe anything over another possibility. I have no reason to believe the brother and no reason t discount John's kidnapping story other than we all would naturally find it an unusual thing and therefore farfetched BUT we don't know what he had going on or was up to either...

All I can come up with is that he definitely got himself mixed up into something shady or that's what the brother wants is to believe.

It seems to boil down to the brother is inserting himself into this and is (or was) at least trying to lead or send the investigation in a certain direction OR John was involved in something that led to all of this or ended up with this happening to him.

There is also the slight possibility it was female related in various possibilities. He had enough baby mamas and a recent divorce. And money... Allegedly.

That's my take. Either drugs, money or relationships or any combination of those.

Is that right? Well, I suppose I'd need to know whether he was known to leave his vehicles unlocked.
It ultimately doesn't matter to me, it's just that if it was his habit to lock-up, I wouldn't be shocked that he hadn't, I'd just find it to be an interesting circumstance.
