A search is continuing for Patrick Slade Boothe, 51, who was last seen on January 23, 2026, in the Parker Place SW area of Jacksonville, Alabama. Authorities have asked the public to report sightings or other information that could help locate him.
Boothe is described as 5 feet 9 inches tall and about 185 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. Investigators have also noted a Kappa Sigma fraternity tattoo on his left ankle. Officials have not released additional details about the circumstances surrounding his disappearance, and no public timeline beyond the last-known sighting has been provided.
Vehicle description shared as investigators track possible travel
Police have indicated Boothe may be traveling in a white 2007 Lexus GX with gold-colored wheels. The vehicle may display an Alabama license plate number reported as 11C1D49. Distributing a specific vehicle description is often used in missing-person investigations when authorities believe it can accelerate leads from motorists, businesses with surveillance systems, and residents along likely travel routes.
A $1,000 reward has been announced for information that leads to Boothe’s location or to suspects connected to the case. Officials have provided direct contact options for both the police department and the regional CrimeStoppers program, including an anonymous tip method.
How the public can help without compromising the investigation
Law enforcement agencies typically prioritize time-sensitive information in active missing-person cases, such as verified sightings, security-camera footage, and vehicle-location details. Investigators generally caution that public speculation can complicate casework, particularly when unverified posts spread rapidly online.
Report immediate sightings of Boothe or the described vehicle to law enforcement using official phone numbers provided by police.
If you have camera footage from homes, businesses, or dashcams near Parker Place SW or surrounding routes from January 23 onward, preserve the files and notify investigators promptly.
Provide precise details when possible—date, time, location, direction of travel, and any distinguishing features observed.

The case unfolds amid ongoing public attention on missing adults, including community events in Florida that have highlighted the long-term impact on families when cases remain unresolved for years.
