On a day in early March of 1995, thirteen-year-old Derrick Foster was in a vehicle with his father in North Little Rock, Arkansas. An argument broke out between them as they traveled down Camp Robinson Road. In the heat of the moment, Derrick jumped out of the car and was last seen walking south along the road. At the time, he was wearing a green jacket and blue jeans. Derrick had light brown hair, brown eyes, and a distinctive four-inch scar on his upper right calf.
He has not been seen or heard from since that day.
In the immediate aftermath of his disappearance, there was speculation about where the young teen might have gone. One theory was that he might have been attempting to travel to Oklahoma, where his mother lived. There was also a possibility he could have headed to Texas. Some agencies classified his case as an endangered runaway, while others considered the possibility that he might be in the company of an adult female. Despite these initial thoughts on his potential destination, no confirmed sightings of Derrick have ever been reported, and the specific details surrounding what prompted the argument with his father remain largely unavailable to the public.
Years have turned into decades, and Derrick's case has grown cold, leaving his family without answers. The North Little Rock Police Department has maintained the investigation, but few details have emerged over the long period he has been missing. The lack of significant leads has made it difficult to piece together the events that transpired after he was last seen walking away from his father's vehicle. The case is a somber reminder of the day a family argument preceded a young boy's disappearance, leaving a void and a mystery that has painfully endured.Last Seen: Mar 4, 1995
