Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP116467) and 2 other sources
In the summer of 2017, concerns grew for the well-being of 50-year-old David J. Berger, who was last seen in Fort Thomas, Kentucky. The exact date of his disappearance is unclear, though his last contact is noted as July 6, 2017. At the time he went missing, David was facing several personal challenges. He was homeless and had an injured leg that required him to walk with a cane. Compounding the difficulties of his situation, he was also not in possession of his necessary medication, which he had reportedly not taken for two months prior to his disappearance. Those who knew him believed he might be in the nearby city of Covington, possibly seeking resources at the local library or the Parish Kitchen. There was also speculation that he could be residing in a homeless encampment along the riverbank.

The circumstances surrounding David's disappearance are troubling. His vehicle was discovered abandoned, but a search of the car and the surrounding area yielded no clues as to his whereabouts or what might have happened to him. Despite the efforts of the Fort Thomas Police Department, who were officially notified of his disappearance on August 17, 2017, the investigation has struggled to gain traction. The lack of significant leads has left both law enforcement and his loved ones with a painful absence of information.

The case of David Berger remains an open and unresolved missing person investigation. The initial report of his disappearance was followed by searches and inquiries, but as time has passed, the trail has grown cold. With no clear evidence of his movements or any indication of foul play from his abandoned vehicle, the narrative of his disappearance is one of quiet uncertainty. The community and his family are left to wonder what became of David after he was last seen, holding out hope for answers in a case that has offered none. His physical description, including his brown hair and brown eyes, has been circulated, but without further information, the search for him is at a standstill.

Last Seen: Jul 6, 2017
