On Super Bowl Sunday, 1993, Amarillo attorney David Glenn Lewis vanished without a trace. His family returned home to find his glasses and keys still inside, the TV on, and food half-eaten. Days later, a man matching David’s description was found dead—struck by a car on a dark highway in Moxee, Washington—1,600 miles from Texas.
With no ID, the man was buried as a John Doe, his death ruled accidental. It took nearly 11 years and the power of Google for the mystery man to be identified as David. But how did a respected lawyer from Texas end up in Washington, wearing clothes his family didn’t recognize, with a mysterious plane ticket purchase and strange sightings along the way?
Was David running from something? Or was he running toward someone? Why was his car found parked at the Amarillo airport, even though records showed he never boarded a flight?
This case is a web of eerie clues, unanswered questions, and chilling possibilities. Join us as we unravel one of the most baffling disappearances—and reappearances—in true crime history.
