David has been missing for 17 years now.

The last story I could find on him was from three years ago. They didn't have any theories on what could have happened to him. They weren't even sure who reported him missing. Hopefully, they have made some progress since then.

The disappearance of David Sargent is really two mysteries in one.

The obvious one is why the Blount County teenager went missing while on a trip to Guntersville.

But the second mystery seems to be why law enforcement knows so little about Sargent or his case.

Casey says the Sargent case is an odd one. None of the agencies that would have worked the case in 1999 in either Blount or Marshall counties seem to remember the case.

"He did go missing from Guntersville, so Marshall County would have had a file," said Casey. "The Marshall County DA's office has told me that that investigator has passed that had done the Sargent case."

It's not even clear who originally reported Sargent missing.

Someone who claims they were in high school with him posted on another thread (which I don't think I'm allowed to link to) that he was hanging with a bad crowd at the time he disappeared. They seem to still live in his town and also said
that not only did LE have no files or memories of this case but his family have never spoken about him, actively searched or even follow up with LE and haven't provided a DNA sample.

Strange case. Sounds like alot of people, perhaps including LE, do know what happened to this kid.
