Case Description

Any updates on this case? Let us know!
Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP61596) and 6 other sources
In February of 2019, 73-year-old Edgar Nathanel Fox was last seen in the 1600 block of Good Hope Road SE in Washington, D.C. Described as a Black male with a bald head and green eyes, he stood between 5'9" and 5'10" and weighed between 150 and 160 pounds. Fox, whose current age would be 80, walked away from the location and has not been heard from since.

The investigation into Fox's disappearance was hampered by a significant delay between when he was last seen and when he was officially reported missing on November 13, 2019. This lapse in time prevented the DC Metropolitan Police Department Missing Persons Unit from conducting a timely and effective canvass of the area where he was last seen. The case, number 19-203-298, remains open as authorities continue to seek information regarding his whereabouts.

Due to his age at the time of his disappearance, Edgar Fox was classified as a critical missing person. His case is listed in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System under case number MP61596. Despite the passage of time, law enforcement and missing persons advocates continue to circulate his information in the hope of generating new leads. A booking photo from 2018 is the primary image used in public appeals for information.
