Lamar Troy McLain was reported missing from Washington, District of Columbia, with NamUs listing his case as Missing Person / NamUs #MP37534. His date of last contact is recorded as November 28, 2009, and the available public summary describes him as missing “circa November 2009,” leaving the known circumstances limited and unclear. He was 31 years old at the time he disappeared, and his case remains published in NamUs with no resolution status indicating that he has been found alive or
deceased.
At the time he went missing, Lamar was described as a Black / African American male with black hair and brown eyes. Public case listings give his height as 5 feet 5 inches and his weight as approximately 140 to 150 pounds. Uncovered’s case page, which identifies NamUs as its source, also lists the date missing as November 28, 2009, his age at the incident as 31, and his NamUs number as MP37534.
The investigating agency listed for Lamar’s disappearance is the DC Metropolitan Police Department Missing Persons Unit. The NamUs-linked agency information shows the case was reported to that unit under agency case number YDMP11-4144, with the agency date reported listed as November 28, 2011. The available public information does not provide a detailed narrative of where Lamar was last seen within Washington, D.C., what he may have been wearing, or what events immediately preceded his disappearance.
Although the details released publicly are sparse, Lamar’s case has remained part of the missing-person record for many years. The DC Metropolitan Police Department’s missing-persons site notes that missing-person information can change in real time as people are reported missing and found, and that flyers or profiles may be added or removed as updates become available. As of the available NamUs and related public information reviewed, there is no indication that Lamar’s case has been closed.
Lamar’s loved ones have been left with very few public answers since November 2009. The absence of detailed circumstances should not lessen the seriousness of his disappearance or the need for continued attention. Anyone with information that could help clarify what happened to Lamar Troy McLain should contact the DC Metropolitan Police Department Missing Persons Unit or submit information through NamUs.Last Seen: Nov 28, 2009
