Allen Lonnie Regusters was 48 years old when he was last known to have contact on March 17, 2000, in Washington, District of Columbia. Online missing-person records identify him as Allen Lonnie Regusters, also known by the nickname “Al,” and list him as a Black/African American man who was missing from Washington, D.C. NamUs lists the case as Missing Person / NamUs #MP215, with the date of last contact recorded as March 17, 2000.
The attached case data does not indicate a resolution status of Alive or Deceased, and the online sources reviewed continue to describe him as a missing person rather than as a closed case.
The reported circumstances are painfully brief. According to NamUs-based case information, Allen went to his workplace at the United States Postal Service in the vicinity of the 900 block of Brentwood Road NE in Washington, D.C., to pick up his paycheck. After that, he was not seen or heard from again. The Charley Project similarly summarizes that he disappeared after going to the postal facility, and no public online source reviewed provided a confirmed explanation for what happened after he arrived there or left that area.
At the time he went missing, Allen was described as standing between 5 feet 8 inches and 6 feet tall and weighing approximately 155 to 165 pounds. He had brown eyes and black hair with a gray patch on the top of his head, a detail that may have made him more recognizable to people who knew him or may have encountered him around the time of his disappearance. Online listings describe him as having gray or partially gray hair, with NamUs-derived summaries specifically noting the gray patch at the top of his head.
Allen’s clothing and personal items were also documented. He was reportedly wearing a black running suit with light blue stripes, yellow and white athletic shoes, a reversible navy and silver jacket, and a black “M&M” cap. He was also listed as having a work badge and a watch. Those details are significant because they place him in ordinary work-related circumstances: he had gone to pick up his paycheck and appears to have had items associated with his job and daily routine.
The case is associated with the DC Metropolitan Police Department Headquarters, and the attached case data lists the agency case number as CNN052-332. Public NamUs information identifies the case as MP215, while other online missing-person summaries repeat the same central details: Allen was last known to be in Washington, D.C., on March 17, 2000, and his disappearance remains publicly unresolved in the sources reviewed. The Metropolitan Police Department’s missing-person resources note that missing-person information can change as people are reported missing and found, but no online source reviewed for this synopsis indicated that Allen had been located.
Allen’s disappearance represents the kind of long-term missing-person case in which the publicly available facts are sparse, but the human loss is profound. The available online record does not describe a known conflict, confirmed destination after the postal facility, vehicle information, or a verified sighting after March 17, 2000. What remains publicly documented is that a 48-year-old man went to a familiar workplace-related location to collect his paycheck and then vanished from the lives of those who knew and loved him. His case remains important, and even after many years, any credible information about his movements, contacts, or possible sightings around the 900 block of Brentwood Road NE could still matter.Last Seen: Mar 17, 2000
