Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP3086) and 4 other sources
In the autumn of 1995, an 84-year-old man named Willie Rudalph Conyers disappeared from his home in Raleigh, North Carolina. On the morning of October 16th, he was last observed walking near the intersection of Weston and Carlisle Streets. At the time, Mr. Conyers was living with his son in the 800 block of Weston Street. He was last seen wearing a dark brown pullover shirt with green and red horizontal stripes, tan pants with the cuffs rolled up, and either white or black shoes. Mr. Conyers, a Black male with brown eyes and a bald head, was approximately 5'6' tall and weighed between 170 and 180 pounds.

Mr. Conyers had a history of wandering away from his residence and becoming disoriented, as he was in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. This medical condition was a significant point of concern for his family and the authorities when he went missing. Living with his son at the time, his tendency to wander was a known issue. Despite his history, his disappearance on that October morning was different, as he did not return.

Despite the passage of many years, the case of Willie Conyers' disappearance remains without a resolution. An extensive search was conducted following his disappearance, but it yielded no clues as to his whereabouts. The Raleigh Police Department has maintained the case file, and anyone with information is encouraged to contact them. The lack of significant leads over the decades has left his family with unanswered questions. The overview of the case is one of a vulnerable elderly man with a cognitive impairment who vanished from his neighborhood, a scenario that unfortunately has no further information available to the public at this time.
