Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP24523) and 5 other sources
In the summer of 2012, a young man named Alexander Lamar Crear, known to some as Alexis, vanished from the small town of Folsom, Louisiana. At 24 years old, Alexander was leading a transient lifestyle, without a permanent home and staying with various friends and relatives. He was unemployed and did not own a vehicle. The last confirmed sighting of Alexander was on the evening of July 14, 2012, when he was seen leaving a relative's home around 10 p.m. He reportedly departed in a dark-colored truck driven by an unidentified individual and has not been seen or heard from since. At the time of his disappearance, he was wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans.

Concern for Alexander's welfare grew when he failed to make his customary first-of-the-month visit to his mother's home to collect his Social Security check. This deviation from his routine was a significant red flag for his family, who stated he did not have any known medical issues. On August 1, 2012, his mother officially reported him missing to the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office. Investigators learned that while he had been seen sporadically in the week leading up to his disappearance, his prepaid cell phone had not been activated since he was last seen.

Alexander is described as an African-American male, standing at 6 feet tall and weighing around 185 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. His hair was styled in long braids at the time he went missing. He has distinct physical features, including a scar from a past eye injury and a tattoo of the name 'Margat' on his chest. The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office has been handling the investigation into his disappearance. Despite the passage of time, Alexander's case remains unsolved, leaving his family with unanswered questions about his whereabouts and well-being. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance, particularly his departure with an unknown person in a truck, continue to be a focal point of the ongoing investigation.
