In the quiet, early morning hours of December 1, 2017, a 20-year-old male named Haven Liebmann told a friend he was going for a walk and left his home in the 100 block of East Loretta Avenue in south St. Louis County, Missouri. This was not an unusual activity for Haven, who often took walks in the pre-dawn hours. He was last seen at approximately 3:00 a.m. At the time of his disappearance, he was wearing a yellow t-shirt, black pants, and light grey tennis shoes.
He may have also been wearing a dark-colored or black Navy-issue trench coat and a grey, wool hat. Haven is described as a white male with sandy or dark blond hair and brown eyes, standing at 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighing around 140 to 160 pounds.
Haven, an Eagle Scout, was known to be a hard worker, often picking up extra shifts at his restaurant job. His mother described his failure to return home as very out of character. He enjoyed running cross-country in high school and a possible destination for his walk was Jefferson Barracks Park, a place he frequented. About ninety minutes after he left his residence, police received calls from motorists about a person seen standing or walking on the Jefferson Barracks Bridge. By the time authorities arrived at the scene, the individual was gone. A search of the area did not yield any clues, and it remains unconfirmed if the person on the bridge was indeed Haven Liebmann. It is known that he had been dealing with anxiety, but it is unclear if he was taking medication for his condition at the time he went missing.
The days following his disappearance were filled with searches by police and community members around the Lemay area and Jefferson Barracks Park, but their efforts did not lead to his whereabouts. The St. Louis County Police Department is the investigating agency in this case, and they have encouraged anyone with information to come forward. Haven's disappearance is a painful mystery for his family and friends, who are left with unanswered questions. The circumstances surrounding his vanishing remain unclear, and he has not been heard from since that early December morning. His case is a poignant reminder of the ongoing search for answers that many families of missing persons endure.Last Seen: Dec 1, 2017
