Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP19561) and 8 other sources
In the community of North Amityville, New York, the autumn of 2012 brought with it a quiet disappearance that would leave a family and a community searching for answers for years to come. On November 13, 2012, 84-year-old Felix Augustin was last seen at his home on North Walnut Road. A man reliant on an aluminum cane for mobility, his sudden absence was a cause for immediate concern. At the time he went missing, he was wearing a brown jacket, a multi-colored shirt, black pants, and black shoes. His primary language was Haitian Creole, with limited proficiency in English, a factor that added another layer of complexity to the search for him.

Felix Augustin lived with dementia, a condition that made him particularly vulnerable and raised the urgency of the efforts to locate him. Authorities and his loved ones feared he may have wandered off and could be in need of medical attention. The Suffolk County Police Department opened an investigation into his disappearance, classifying him as an endangered missing person due to his medical condition. Despite their efforts and appeals to the public for any information that could lead to his whereabouts, very few leads have emerged over the years, leaving his case shrouded in uncertainty.

The years that have passed since Felix Augustin was last seen have not brought any definitive answers. The investigation, led by the Suffolk County Police Department, remains open. The lack of significant developments has left his family and community in a painful state of limbo, holding onto hope while grappling with the possibility that they may never know what happened to him. The case of Felix Augustin serves as a heart-wrenching reminder of the silent struggles faced by those with dementia and their families, and the profound and lasting impact of a person's unexplained absence.
