Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP15324) and 6 other sources
Royal Foote, a 17-year-old from Daly City, California, was last seen on January 22, 2012. He disappeared after leaving his father's house, and authorities have classified his case as that of an endangered runaway. Foote, who goes by the nicknames "Ro-Ro" or "Roy," was wearing a black sweatshirt with red and gold Asian writing, black and gray jeans, and black Flyer shoes at the time he went missing. Despite investigations, few details have emerged about his whereabouts.

Authorities believe Royal may still be in the local area. His family, alongside law enforcement, continues to seek information that could lead to his discovery. Age progression photos have been released, showing what he might look like today, with hopes that the public may recognize him. The San Francisco Police Department remains the lead agency on the case, encouraging anyone with information to come forward.
