POOLESVILLE, Md. - Nearly three years after his disappearance, the parents of a Poolesville man are making one last push to find out what happened to their son.

John James Morris, Jr., who would be 40 this year, was last seen the night of July 30, 2007, in the 24000 block of Whites Ferry Road.

Montgomery County Police say he was packing his truck at a home he shared with another man, with whom he had just ended a 14-year relationship. Morris was preparing to move permanently to live with his parents in New Jersey.

The truck stayed put, but Morris vanished.

The mother of John Morris, Jr. released the following statement asking for help to find her son.

My name is Madeline Morris, mother of missing John James Morris who went missing on July 30, 2007 about 11:00 p.m. from the 24000 block of Whites Ferry Road in the Poolesville/Dickerson area of Maryland. I would be here personally, but medical problems limit my travel and I reside in New Jersey.

John is a warm loving person with an infectious smile. He can make you laugh at a drop of a hat, everything is funny to him. He is well-spoken and articulate and easily makes friends. John is very neat about his appearance and all things around him, especially his living quarters.

John also suffers with an Attention Deficit Disorder with bipolar tendencies. He should be on medication, but don't know if he is.

His family, friends, former classmates and neighbors miss him so very much and are praying for his safe return. John, if you are listening to this, you are loved by more people than you ever can imagine. Nothing is so bad that it can't be worked out or rectified. Your old friends want to see you again and help you work things out.

John is an animal lover and may have taken a stray as company. He is warm, loving and very good with animals and older people. John was always there when anyone needed a hand. I remember how he stayed at his dying grandfather's side to the end of his life, that's how caring he is.

As I mentioned before, my husband and I have medical problems and John always called to see how we were doing. Since John went missing, the phone calls stopped and that leads us to believe something is very wrong. John is very spiritual and prays when he needs guidance.

John, if you hear this, dad and I miss you so very much and so does your dog, Bentley.

Our hearts are breaking, we do not sleep well thinking about what may have happened to you. Dad, me, and your brother want to hear from you or at least find out what happened to you. There is no closure or peace, we just live in limbo waiting for answers. I cry most of the time.

I am begging all of you listening to please help us find John and if you know anything about what happened to John, please come forward with information. If you do come forward, your heart and mind will once more be free. This is between you and your God who will be your final judge. Thanks You.

Madeline Morris

Details of Disappearance​

Morris was last seen at approximately 11:00 p.m. on July 30, 2007 in the driveway of his and his ex-boyfriend's residence in the 24000 block of Whites Ferry Road in Dickerson, Maryland. The men had recently ended their twelve-year relationship, and Morris's ex-boyfriend was staying in a condominium in Washington, D.C.

Morris spoke to his mother on the telephone the day of his disappearance and sounded angry and distressed during the conversation. He told her someone was coming to pick him up. The neighbor who saw him in the driveway said he appeared to be waiting for a ride. He has never been heard from again.

His family reported him missing on August 23 after he missed several of his weekly telephone calls to them, which is uncharacteristic of his behavior. When he was reported missing, the police initially thought he had entered a drug treatment program. The idea that he was the victim of a hate crime has been ruled out.

Morris was unemployed at the time of his disappearance. He is a talented oil painter and previously worked as a veterinary assistant. He could be working as a handyman, glazier, or landscaper. All of his personal belongings, including his truck and his pet dog, were left behind, and he has not used his cellular phone or credit card since he went missing.

Although there is no evidence of a crime in his case, he is missing under suspicious circumstances and foul play is suspected. His disappearance remains unsolved.
