CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – While many celebrated Father’s Day this weekend, four young children in Clarksville are still searching for information about what happened to their father after he disappeared from a gas station six years ago.
Saturday, June 15, marked six years since 33-year-old Marqualus Davis was last seen near the intersection of Peachers Mill and the 101st Airborne Division Parkway. His mother said Marqualus was working in construction at the time to provide for his growing family.
“Today has not been any easier than when it first happened… Dealing with and living with a void on a daily basis, no answers, no closure, has been really difficult these past six years,” said Kim Davis

Marqualus was last seen on June 15, 2018, when he was dropped off at the gas station by a red and white truck, according to police. The gas station has now been given a new name. Surveillance showed the moments before Marqualus disappeared. Authorities said he entered the gas station, walked to the restroom and then left on foot.
“Something tragic happened, and as far as the detectives were concerned, obviously they didn’t really go into details,” Kim said. “Crime shows have become a part of my life, I’m just trying to see if I can add something to the case.”
Kim said she understands more evidence is needed in her son’s case, and has even conducted searches of her own in hopes of finding answers. She asked anyone with information, no matter how small it seems, to come forward.

“I know he was with a few individuals, but if someone else was following them or saw something that just wasn’t quite right, that could also be very crucial to the case,” Kim said. “Just find it in your heart to share that information if it’s something that could potentially bring us closure, because even if it’s something small or insignificant, it could be the very thing they need to actually bring this case to close.”
Kim said her son’s case has shined a light on the importance of taking care of your mental health.
“This has of course been the worst trial of my life. The ups and downs, the emotional rollercoaster, the depression are real. It’s real,” she explained.

Kim even sought professional therapy to help deal with the pain of not knowing what happened to her son.
“I’ve taken advantage of that to stay on top of my mental health and to be able to survive and survive every day,” she said.
Kim hopes to one day have answers for herself, her grandchildren and Marqualus’ siblings.
