This Nashville man has been missing almost 50 years. His family hasn't quit looking.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A Nashville man disappears while on his way home, and almost 50 years later, he has never been found. It is one of the oldest unsolved missing person cases in Nashville, and the man's family is still holding out hope it will be solved.

After waiting decades for answers, the Bryant family is hoping a fresh look a the case will generate some new leads. Detective Anthony Chandler with the Metro Police Department's Cold Case-Homicide and Missing Persons Unit is now looking into the case.

"We are essentially going to start completely over," said Chandler. "We’ve got a couple of things we are working on as far as people who may have known him."

Chandler said tips from people who knew Widdy, or worked with him could be critical to heating up the investigation. He said any small detail about Widdy's life could help them. His family hopes someone will help provide them with answers.

Does anyone see a resemblance between him and the Floyd County John Doe, found in 1977? Dates don't line up but he is the only man it really could be if the man was reported missing. He did go missing relatively close to Floyd County.

	William Henry Bryant MP96924	Floyd County John Doe (1977) UP4845
Sex	Male	Male
Race	Black/African American	Black/African American
Age	22 (About 24 in 1977)	19 - 25
DOD/DLC	August 10, 1975	December 24, 1977
Hair Color	Black	Black
Eye Color	Brown	Brown
Height	5'8 - 6'0	Estimated 6'0
Weight	160 - 180lbs	155lbs
Distinctive Features	Unknown/None	Unknown/None (Doe Network says he has a scar, William's case is still recently added so it may be left out or he got it after he went missing.)
Circumstances	Missing after talking to his father on the phone.	Located in a drain culvert
Distance	Nashville-Floyd County	187 miles (3hr 9mins)

I wonder if he has anyone in his life with the initials E.D, like on the Doe's jacket.

Here is John Doe's thread:

IN - IN - Floyd Co., BlkMale 843UMIN, 18-25, GSW, may be from Louisville, Dec'77

Here is another Doe Case on which I did a reconstruction a month or so ago. I was thinking of Jerry Lee Armstrong until I found the article that said that CODIS flagged a possible match of JLA to skeletal remains found in Arkansas. But since I have the recon, I am putting it out there to see...
