: Caucasian male. Blond hair, blue eyes. Johnson parted his hair on the right side at the time of his 2006 disappearance.
Information on the case from local sources, may or may not be correct : Johnson was last seen walking away from his residence in the 30 block of Cider Mill Road in Tolland, Connecticut between 11:00 and 11:25 p.m. on October 24, 2006. He wasn't carrying a cellular phone when he disappeared, and he didn't have a vehicle.
A search of the area turned up his sheepskin hat, but no other sign of him. It's uncharacteristic of him to be out of touch with his family. His stepson was in a juvenile detention facility at the time of Johnson's disappearance, and Johnson and his sister visited him every week, and he also went to his stepson's court appearances to show support.
Johnson married several months before his disappearance. His wife claims he called her several times after he went missing. She said she believed he left voluntarily because he was afraid of going to prison.
He'd been arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia in 2004, and was subsequently charged with missing three court appearances relating to that case. His wife said he was placed on probation in 2006 and may not have complied with the terms. However, his lawyer stated he wasn't in any danger of being jailed.
Police have been unable to verify Johnson's wife claims that he contacted her. In October 2010, at the request of his sister, he was declared legally dead. His case remains unsolved.

September 2021 updates and sources
A missing person is a person who has disappeared and whose status as alive or dead cannot be confirmed as their location and condition are not known. A person may go missing through a voluntary disappearance, or else due to an accident, crime, death in a location where they cannot be found (such as at sea), or many other reasons. In most parts of the world, a missing person will usually be found quickly. While criminal abductions are some of the most widely reported missing person cases, these account for only 2�5% of missing children in Europe.
By contrast, some missing person cases remain unresolved for many years. Laws related to these cases are often complex since, in many jurisdictions, relatives and third parties may not deal with a person's assets until their death is considered proven by law and a formal death certificate issued. The situation, uncertainties, and lack of closure or a funeral resulting when a person goes missing may be extremely painful with long-lasting effects on family and friends.
Several organizations seek to connect, share best practices, and disseminate information and imAge at the time of disappearance: s of missing children to improve the effectiveness of missing children investigations, including the International Commission on Missing Persons, the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC), as well as national organizations, including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children in the US, Missing People in the UK, Child Focus in Belgium, and The Smile of the Child in Greece.
