A Missouri ER doctor who spends most of his free time cryptocurrency, had just gotten engaged days after finalizing his divorce, and was planning to visit his children when he bizarrely disappeared without a trace.

Dr John Forsyth, 49, was last seen leaving Mercy Hospital in Cassville around 7am on May 21 and had texted his new fiancé to say he was done his shift and that he would see her later in the day.

But just over a week has passed and no one has seen or heard of Forsyth, whose disappearance has baffled his family. They say the first red flag was when the doctor, uncharacteristically, did not show up for his shift at the hospital that night.

Shortly after, authorities located his abandoned black Infiniti sedan at Cassville Aquatic Park in the Ozarks. The car keys were inside, along with Forsyth’s wallet, passport, and briefcase.

Further investigation revealed that two mobile phones had been left in Forsyth’s luxury motorhome he was staying in outside the hospital. But there was no sign of the doctor.

The Cassville Police Department launched a search for Forsyth on Tuesday, covering 90 acres, but found no evidence of the doctor and released limited details of the investigation.

Forsyth’s younger brother, Richard Forsyth, told The Daily Beast it was clear something was wrong when he missed his 7pm shift at the hospital. Forsyth never missed a shift without telling someone in the 15 years he was there.

“He wouldn’t miss a shift even if his eyeballs popped out of their sockets,” Richard said. “It was an immediate red flag.”

Forsyth, who is the father of seven, had recently gotten engaged, just days after his divorce was finalized earlier this month, Richard said. The newly engaged couple had texted the morning of her disappearance.

“Her fiancé was texting her around 7 a.m. and as he was leaving he was texting her like ‘Hey, my shift is over’ and ‘I’ll see you a bit later,'” Richard said.

“And a few minutes later he stops responding to texts and we see him walking towards his motorhome.”

Forsyth is described as 5 feet, 11 inches tall, 180 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing a black shirt with blue/grey pants.

Richard also told the outlet that security footage showed Forsyth’s Infiniti pulling into the water park parking lot, when a white SUV drove up and parked near it.

‘He leaves a few minutes later and [John] is seen walking around maybe 10 to 15 minutes after that,’ Richard told police. “And then he walks away from his car.”

The Infiniti was later found by police at the park in a very hidden location, in a place where it appears cars are not supposed to go,” Richard said.

Richard said the last time he saw his brother was at dinner last week where he ‘seemed really happy and excited’ and saw no indication that Forsyth might have been worried about anything.

“Nothing seemed weird,” he added. “Which makes John’s disappearance even weirder.”

Forsyth’s son, JR, 23, told The Daily Beast he first learned of the engagement two days after his father disappeared.

He added that he knew his father had been “incredibly busy” with ER work and the crypto company he ran with his brother Richard.

Family members said Forsyth spent most of his free time trying to figure out how to make cryptocurrency beneficial to society – which sometimes got them into trouble, such as a “pirate battle with a guy on Internet,” admitted Richard.

“We made enemies,” he added.

Forsyth’s family has created a Facebook page urging the public to share any advice or information that might bring them closer to his research.
