Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP8312) and 8 other sources
Charles Westfall, a 50-year-old man, vanished from his home in Tulsa, Oklahoma, prompting his mother to report him missing on April 3, 2006. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as a white male, standing 5'11' tall and weighing 250 pounds, with brown, balding hair and green eyes. Concern for his well-being was heightened by a history of depression and previous threats of suicide. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance were, and remain, sparse on details, leaving his family with few answers.

The investigation into Charles's whereabouts took a perplexing turn when his vehicle, a maroon and red 1991 Toyota Camry with Oklahoma license plate number 047PEY, was discovered abandoned. The car was not found anywhere near his home but in a parking lot in Statesville, North Carolina, approximately 1,000 miles away from Tulsa. This discovery only deepened the mystery, raising questions about how and why his car ended up so far from his last known location. There was no sign of Charles Westfall at the scene.

The case of Charles Westfall continues to be an unresolved missing person investigation. Despite the passage of time, law enforcement agencies, including the Tulsa Police Department, keep his case file open. The lack of significant leads or new information has left the circumstances of his disappearance largely unknown. The discovery of his abandoned vehicle in another state remains the most significant, yet puzzling, piece of evidence in a case that has left a family searching for answers for years.
