Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP29336) and 2 other sources
Jeffery Roosevelt Crider, a 31-year-old U.S. Navy veteran, was last seen on January 4, 1991, in Vallejo, California. Despite his disappearance occurring in early 1991, Crider was not reported missing until October 17, 1994, leaving a gap of over three years before authorities began investigating his case. The reasons for this delay remain unclear, and few details are known about the circumstances surrounding his disappearance.

Crider was described as an African-American male, standing 5'11" tall and weighing 170 pounds at the time. He had distinct physical characteristics, including webbed toes on both feet, a scar on his left leg, and small extra fingers attached to both pinky fingers. He was known to sometimes use the alias "Kenneth Wilson" and might spell his first name as "Jeffrey." Despite being a military veteran, no substantial leads have surfaced in his case since he vanished.

His case remains unsolved, and authorities continue to encourage anyone with information to contact the Fairfield Police Department, which is leading the investigation.
