Background
Disappearance
David McAllister was last seen at his home in Bettendorf, Iowa on May 11, 2017. At 4:00 am he texted his mother, telling her he wasn’t going to be going to work that day and that he needed some space.
He left home early that day, telling his father he’d be back later that evening. He left home carrying his cell phone, bible, and a black backpack.
His mother texted him when she came home from work and noticed he was gone. She asked if he was OK, and he responded that he was out walking and thinking and spreading the Word.
David stopped answering texts and calls that afternoon, and hasn’t been seen or heard from since.
He was reported missing by his mother approximately two weeks after she last had contact with him.
Investigation
It is believed David was dropped off at Jungy Park in Davenport, Iowa on the day he went missing. He has not made contact with his family since he went missing, which is out of character for him.
Authorities traced the last ping of David’s phone to St. Ambrose tower, near Vander Veer or Garfield Park, at 12:00 pm on the day he disappeared.
David may have been experiencing personal issues at the time of his disappearance. It is not known if McAllister relapsed before his disappearance, but his family says he was putting in an effort to recover.
