Background
Davohnte Van Morgan was born on March 15, 1992. He is from San Francisco, California. According to loved ones he is very close with his family and would not take off without contacting someone.
Disappearance
On May 4, 2020, Davohnte Morgan and his girlfriend went on a trip to Mount Shasta, California. The couple were staying at Cold Creek Inn, a motel on North Mount Shasta Boulevard.
The two reportedly got into an argument that evening, during which they broke up but still spent the night together at the hotel.
On May 5, 2020, his girlfriend left the hotel early that morning to go for a walk to see the sunrise. Around 9:00 am, the two crossed paths as she was returning to their hotel room, but they didn’t speak to one another.
After leaving the hotel, Morgan was captured on multiple surveillance cameras walking through downtown Mount Shasta for about an hour, covering 2.25 miles, before surveillance cameras lost track of his movements after 10:00 am.
Davohnte Van Morgan never returned to the motel and hasn’t been heard from since.

Investigation
Davohnte Morgan disappeared with his wallet and cellphone, but did not have a vehicle with him. Morgan is from San Francisco and had never been to Mount Shasta before.

Isn’t this scary? I live in Seattle and have
” heard things ” about Shasta. I just hope he’s resting in peace and not being kept as a redneck sex slave. There are some backwoods bonkers people up there. That mayor and sheriff should know but might be being silenced.
I truly believe no one goes missing without someone knowing or seeing something. The fact that she seems to pop up when he goes for a walk and everything something about that does not sound right. Also she reports him missing there are skeletons in that closet that have yet to be told the cops need to push harder on her she might not have did something to him but got someone to do it Oakland California is not a good place this case sounds like if you put the video together if you push harder on her and maybe trace why his phone pinged in Oakland your case will be solved look over the videos again maybe it’s something as tiny that u didn’t see and what time did she see him downtown because we know at 1 pm all video of him he is not seen no more.
If it was a white woman….
I feel like the mayor’s comments on Disappeared are tone deaf based on the experience of the family as far as racism. The cop also seems like following up with the story about the river check was too much trouble. Did he talk to the guy who told the story?
I totally agree with you. I just watched this Episode and the lack of interest baffles me. They have not done enough!!!
It breaks my heart for his mom & family. Brought me to tears!! Praying for them finding him 🙏🙏🙏
Moral of the story, don’t leave your neighborhood with a older man or woman to an area that’s known for racism. Also a guy that age-just like my daughters BF always in slide sandals in public with a broken phone. You want to survive in this dog eat dog world, watch your own back because no one else is going to. They should have done later surveillance on her. Who is this B?!
His phone was broken before arriving/ going to Mt. Shasta.
My biggest questions-
1. HOW did he and the gf get there? If she drove did his family or anyone look in her car, smell around her trunk, inspect it??
2. A Mt. Shasta mailman reported speaking with Devohnte who asked for directions to a “hotel” on Alma St. The mailman said there are only apartments and gave Devohnte directions but saw him looking lost later on around Alma St. Was the couple supposed to meet anyone in or near Mt. Shasta, possibly for a deal??? No offense but must consider because I’ve read that the area made little sense for a trip in May and during COVID. National parks were closed (idk, it’s what I read), the winter attractions(possibly when tourism is highest there?) were closed, and the B&B was more like a roadside inn, not worth travelling 4 hours. There’s a lot of nice places to get away from San Fransisco (I’d imagine)… why there??? The gf was also loopy and his family said he was struggling after being the victim of a mistaken identity shooting. His family felt the gf kept booze and possibly drugs available.
3. Number 2 leads me to this, even though they had no legal grounds that gf’s cell phone could be a critical missing piece. Devohnte’s phone was broken, if any deal or communication took place it’d go through the gf. Or, maybe there’s just something else incriminating, like pings- where did her cell ping from??
4. Are there any known criminals in the area that live on Alma St. that may fit a profile of being someone to look into (remember he asked the mailman for directions to Alma St)?
5. Has anyone specifically questioned residents on Alma St, specifically at that apartment complex? Are there any personal cameras (ring) specifically in that area that could have or can still be checked??
Time really is of the essence and it’s so unfortunate we’re now past 3 years.
Methinks, it was a drug deal gone bad. Just like the guy said, DM was robbed of his money and killed, then put into the river.
DM was 28 years old, his GF – 48. What were they doing for a living? Could it be that they were dealing? Not trying to throw shade on the missing person, but that’s just the first thing that comes to my mind. May 2020 California was under lock down, all public places (including national parks) were closed. What were they doing in that little town? His phone was broken, so all communications were conducted via his GF’s phone. Has that been looked into, or was there not enough evidence for a warrant? Did the police look into her social connections? She should know who DM was visiting that day, but if she rats them out, she will find herself at the bottom of a river, too.
My take on this is that the white supremist activity associated with that area of California (Redding, Cottonwood Militia) have something to do with this. I listened to the Mayor of Mt Shasta engage in typical denial of racism and the power it has over some people to do evil. By denying this real history of racism is very dangerous in attempts to find the truth. By denying a reality, she denies a very likely contributor to DaVohnte’s disappearance. Denial is a powerful defender of evil. If I am ever, as a white person, to visit Mt Shasta, I will be keeping my eyes and ears open for the evil of racism in that town.. And I will report what I see and hear. STOP the DENIAL!!! May he be found and his family have peace. May Mt. Shasta grow up and make amends for the past. P.S. Cottonwood is a very creepy place and close to Mt. Shasta. Redding not so great either.
You are 100% spot on. The F.B.I. would have done everything you said if it was a missing young white woman. If I was his mom, brother, when I got there I would have grabbed that phone out of her hand! And searched her car, looked for a possible second phone.
I don’t know how the mayor can say its an inclusive region after what the family had happen to them. No reported incidents of racism, well I hope they find him, for his families sake and his. I do t care if you are pink, black or mauve, people are people but I know that’s not how it always is. Good luck with your search. I pray they find him. X
Why was he shot at his home yet the family claims it was a case of mistaken identity? Who was meant to be shot then? Who lives in that household that was meant to be the target that day? Could this have anything to do with the gang signs he flashes in some photos? Was the girlfriend looking to get him taken care of somehow? She obviously was struggling with some issues. let’s not pretend the family is not trying to deflect. they are not giving all the information they are aware of.
This episode seemed to focus on the “racism” in Mt. Shasta vs the actual facts of the case. The family asked the girlfriend to leave town? That makes so sense whatsoever! Why would you ask your only “witness” to leave? Let’s get one thing straight, there are racist people EVERYWHERE in EVERY city but it doesn’t make the town/city racist. Mt. Shasta is a hippy town, full of crystal ball psychics, healers and people who think giant spiritual creatures live inside the mountain. It’s a pit stop for a lot PCT hikers and tourists. It’s a really small town. The family/ show really tried to make this about white supremacy running wild in that town and I can tell you that is 100% FALSE. As a person of color myself I’ve never felt threatened or harassed or scared when visiting Mt. Shasta. It’s actually one of my favorite cities in my home of Northern California. This episode just did a horrible job of advocating for DM. And it’s really frustrating to see people jump on the race bandwagon. Think for yourself. Do your research and actually help bring DM home.
