Details of Disappearance

Ardley was last seen by his sister when he visited her office on Apalachee Parkway in Leon County, Florida on February 28, 1998. Authorities believe he was responsible for accidentally burning down his mother's home. He disappeared shortly after the fire.

He may have been sighted on the afternoon of April 1, 1998 near Mike's Beer Barn on west Tennessee Street. This sighting occurred nearly two months after Ardley initially vanished, and there have not been any sightings since.

Ardley is a Navy veteran. He was known to frequent the west Tennessee Street area near Florida State University at the time of his disappearance. His case remains unsolved.
