Michael Austin Davis, 26, of Jacksonville, was last seen June 26 when he took a taxi cab from his sister's house to an undetermined location. Family members said Austin Davis, a computer technician, telephoned his employer to say he would be late for work but didn't show. He advised his employer that he was going to pick up his car from a lot but the car was never moved. He didn't take his laptop computer or other personal items, which he normally takes everywhere.

"We've all been very worried, and we're looking hard and praying hard for Austin," said Jim Davis, Austin's father and an employee at Commander, Navy Region Southeast. "We know someone out there knows something about Austin, and we won't rest until we know what happened to him."

Residents in the Gainesville area recently told family members that Davis may have been seen there and in the High Springs and Lake City areas. Austin's story has been broadcast on several local media outlets, and family and friends have posted flyers across Northeast Florida and have saturated the internet sites with requests for help.

Jim Davis said the media helped produce important leads and other tips have come in.

"We know if we keep up the pressure and keep searching, that something will turn up," Jim Davis said. "Any information helps, so if you think you've seen Austin, please contact us."

The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office issued a missing person report on July 10 and the Alachua County Sheriff's Office issued a similar release on July 20.

Austin Davis is a 26-year-old white male, 5-foot-7, 180 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. For more information, please contact Jim Davis at (904) 375-1900.
