John Patrick Morrissey
Case Classification: Endangered Missing
Missing Since: July 14, 1999
Location Last Seen: International Falls, Koochiching County, Minnesota
Morrissey was last spotted two miles south of Margie on U.S. 71 - or about 45 miles southwest of International Falls in northern Minnesota. A sheriff's deputy was dispatched to check on Morrissey when residents in the area reported that a man was sitting suspiciously in his car on the side of the road. When the deputy arrived, Morrissey refused assistance. The officer returned a couple hours later and the man was gone. Morrissey left behind his personal belongings and two dogs in his car. He has never been heard from again.
Morrissey grew up in St. Paul and attended St. Thomas Academy and the University of Minnesota. He worked in the construction industry at the time of his disappearance, and had taught carpentry at St. Paul Technical Institute for 21 years. He was an active member of the Democratic Party and the Knights of Columbus. Morrissey left behind a wife and six children. His whereabouts remain unknown.
