Austin Carlos Patchke: The Jacksonville Records
A departure after work and date wording that needs checking.
Abstract
NamUs MP111353 lists November 16, 2022 as Austin Carlos Patchke’s Date of Last Contact in Jacksonville, Florida. His age at disappearance is twenty-two.1
After the Shift
The NamUs narrative places Austin at a 7-Eleven after working his shift. It describes a gray embroidered polo, dark sleeves, black pants and a pink bag. This is the published case description; the original workplace records were not inspected.1
Travis Gibson’s October 17, 2023 WJXT report attributes a November 16 departure on foot from a business on Old St. Augustine Road to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.2
Where the Dates Differ
A February 2025 Action News Jax roundup says October 2022 in its body but November 16, 2022 in its gallery caption. That internal difference remains unresolved.3
The NamUs entry identifies Jacksonville Sheriff’s case 22-689988. Its contact and agency report-date fields both give November 16, 2022.1
Sourced Accounts and Questions
Here’s where you come in. Can you identify the original observation behind the published departure account?2
Can you establish what each November 16 field records before assuming the contact and report happened simultaneously?1
Can you locate the agency record behind the roundup’s October wording and November caption before selecting a date?3
Keep each source, speaker, event date and unresolved question in a Research File in Almost Solved. Retain differences until the original documentation clarifies them.

Later Reporting and Its Limits
WJXT’s 2023 report attributes an absence of discovered foul-play evidence to JSO at that time. That reported assessment does not establish a voluntary departure or explain Austin’s fate.2
Action News Jax also describes an October 2023 renewed appeal. That reporting date is separate from the disputed disappearance-month wording.3
Original witness statements, workplace records and the complete investigative file were not inspected. These sources do not establish Austin’s present location or fate.
Scope and Method
Original witness statements, workplace records and investigative files were not inspected.
