Carlton McCarthy Ireland
Around May 1st of 2007, Carlton was last contacted by family members. He was 67 years old and lived in Zephyrhills, Florida. His family members attempted to visit him on November 3rd, 2007 but when they arrived they did not find Carlton or his vehicle, a red 1997 Toyota Tercel with the license plate J36ZVH. It appeared that his home was undisturbed and that he did not take any personal belongings. It’s unknown what he was wearing at the time, but he is 5’8″, 160 lbs, and he has black hair and brown eyes.
Through cell phone records, and further investigation, it was later determined he was last known to be leaving a pawn shop in Tampa. Pawn shop records indicated he had sold a ring. His vehicle has never been recovered.
Little else is known about him or his disappearance, but he still has family members seeking answers.
== Search Efforts ==
In March of 2024, Sunshine State Sonar located several submerged vehicles in Hillsborough County on the search for him.
