Information on the case from local sources, may or may not be correct : Ware was last seen in Kansas City, Missouri on May 10, 2020. He contacted his mother to wish her a Happy Mother's Day. She was in the process of moving to Florida and didn't see her son often, but they kept in regular touch even though Ware did not have a cellular phone. He never contacted her again, although the last date anyone saw him is unclear; he may have gone missing as late as June. He may have been with someone named "Chris" in the Blue Springs, Missouri area sometime in early- to-mid June.
Although police initially said they did not suspect foul play in his disappearance, Ware's mother has heard rumors that he was murdered, and she doesn't believe he left of his own accord. Investigators eventually agreed that Ware had probably met with foul play. His case remains unsolved.
