CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – The Clarksville Police Department is asking for the public’s help locating 20-year-old Justin Sawyer, who was last seen on Thursday, Dec. 17, around 11 a.m.

He graduated from Rossview High School in 2019, and stayed in the area after his mother relocated to Orlando, Florida, according to his family.

“I’m going back and forth with the police department, and they’re doing an excellent job trying to find where my nephew is,” Angela Belcher, Sawyer’s aunt, told Clarksville Now.

Sawyer’s family are desperate for answers, and are also thankful for the community’s involvement in the search.

“The people in Clarksville have been very helpful, I’ve been getting messages everywhere from different Facebook groups and stuff, so the people there are really concerned. I love that they are really pouring their hearts out to us,” Belcher said.

Sawyer is 5-foot-11 and approximately 200 pounds, according to a news release from CPD. He drives a 2016 white, 4-door Honda Civic, and has a Tennessee license plate with the numbers CPM467. CPD says the car now has blacked-out rims and has a black scuff mark on the right side of the rear bumper.
