This year will mark four years since Johnny Lee Rhodes, 34, has been reported missing.

Etowah County Investigators say Rhodes was reported missing by his mother on September 8, 2019. Rhodes was last seen on September 7, 2019, around 6:00 p.m.

Investigators say Rhodes was expecting a friend to visit him from out of town the day he was last seen. Rhodes was last seen wearing a Nike cap, green shirt, blue jean shorts, and black tennis shoes. Rhodes left his residence driving a blue dirt bike with the number 121 on the side of the bike. Rhodes suffered from seizures and did not have his medication with him when he was last seen. Investigators say his family attempted to call him and his phone went straight to voicemail. Rhodes’s mother said it was not normal for him to leave and not contact her.

According to a September 7, 2021, article from AL.COM, Rhodes’s mother said Rhodes left home that Saturday, but a short time later, the dirt bike he was on broke down. His mother said he went to his aunt’s house, but they couldn’t seem to get the dirt bike fixed. His mother told the reporter that she was told Rhodes had an acquaintance that gave him a ride to an unknown residence.

Investigators say skeletal remains were found on October 14, 2019. A cell phone was located near the remains. Investigators determined that the skeletal remains were identified as Rhodes.

Rhodes’s mother told reporters that her son was a good boy, a mama’s boy, and he would call her at least fifteen times a day. Rhodes’s mother said her son was a beloved father of seven children.

Rhodes was beloved by his family, and they are begging for anyone with information to please come forward.
