May 21, 2015

The search in continuing for a missing Flomaton man, a former police officer, whose vehicle was found abandoned near McDavid.

John Douglas Oswalt, 35, last communicated with family members on Sunday, May 3, according to Flomaton Police Chief Bryan Davis. He was last seen in the Pensacola area that morning.

His silver in color Chrysler Crossfire was found abandoned on Pine Barren Road near McDavid  about 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 5 by the Escambia County (FL) Sheriff’s Office. At that time, an Escambia County K-9 unit searched the area around the vehicle with no results. The Flomaton Police Department also attempted unsuccessfully to locate Oswalt at his home on Jackson Street in Flomaton. Search warrants have been executed for his vehicle and home.

Davis said Wednesday that his office had only received two possible tips about Oswalt, with one of those reported sightings extremely unlikely.

Oswalt is former Memphis (TN) police officer, according to friends and family.  He is described as a white male, about six feet tall with hazel eyes and bald head. No clothing description was known. Oswalt previously listed a home address in Cantonment.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Oswalt should contact the Flomaton Police Department at (251) 296-5811 or their local law enforcement agency.
