Case Information

40-year-old John “Dax” Dunn was last seen in Newnan, Georgia on February 13, 2020. He disappeared while on a weekend fishing trip near Tampa, Florida.

Background

John Dunn was born on June 1, 1980. He is married and has four children, ages 23, 17, 15, and 10.

Disappearance

On February 13, 2020, Dunn was last seen at his residence in Newnan, Georgia, around 4:30 pm. He told his family he had plans for a four-day weekend fishing trip alone near Tampa.

On February 14, 2020, Dunn made the long trip from Georgia to Florida in his vehicle, a 2013 white Nissan Frontier. Later that day, he used his debit card to make a purchase in Midway, off of Interstate-10.

On February 17, 2020, Dunn rented a 10.5 foot long lime green kayak and life vest from Paddles Outdoor Rentals, a canoe and kayak rental service in Crystal River, Florida.

Dunn never returned home from his weekend fishing trip, and hasn’t been seen or heard from since.

On February 18, 2020, his family grew concerned when Dunn failed to show up for work and filed a missing persons report with the Coweta County Sheriff’s Office.
