In the autumn of 2013, the life of a young family was irrevocably changed when 22-year-old Derrell Miller vanished from Rochester, New York. On October 20th, Derrell, a father of four affectionately known as "Smoke" or "Smokie," was last seen on Arch Street after leaving his mother's home in the late afternoon. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as a Black / African American male, standing at 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighing around 225 pounds. He had black hair, brown eyes, and a distinctive tattoo on his chest. When he was last seen, he was wearing a black hoodie, a black Yankees hat, blue jeans, and Timberland construction boots. His family grew deeply concerned when he failed to make contact, stating that it was entirely out of character for him not to call his mother or his children. The days turned into weeks, and then years, with no sign of Derrell. The pain of not knowing his whereabouts has been a heavy burden for his loved ones. His mother, Gwendolyn Brooks, has spoken about the immense difficulty of his absence, emphasizing that while he may not have been perfect, he was a beloved son, father, and grandchild. The lack of answers has left a void in the lives of his family, who continue to hope for his return. The community has been urged to come forward with any information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, as it could be the key to bringing Derrell home. The investigation into Derrell Miller's disappearance is ongoing and remains unsolved. The Town of Greece Police Department is the primary investigating agency and continues to seek information from the public. Despite the passage of time, the search for answers continues, fueled by the hope of providing his family with the closure they desperately need. His case serves as a somber reminder of the many individuals who are still missing, and the lasting impact their absence has on their families and communities. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance on that October afternoon are still unclear, leaving a painful and unanswered question in the hearts of those who love him.
