Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP1243) and 2 other sources
Charles N. Strohm, a 47-year-old man, was last seen in Gloucester City, New Jersey, on December 17, 1999. He was in the vicinity of the 300 block of Warren Street at the time of his disappearance. On the day he went missing, Strohm was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, jeans, white socks, and white athletic shoes. He was also wearing a watch. Strohm is described as a white male with graying blond hair and blue eyes. He stood at 6 feet tall and weighed around 160 pounds. Distinguishing features include a raised mole on his abdomen, a scar on his left lower leg, and two missing front teeth. He may have had a mustache, beard, or goatee at the time he vanished.

The circumstances surrounding Charles Strohm's disappearance remain unknown, and he has not been seen or heard from since that December day. At the time he went missing, it was noted that he was mentally disabled. It has also been reported that he had a history of threatening suicide. Authorities have suggested the possibility that Strohm may have intended to travel to Texas, although the reasons for this belief are not publicly detailed. His case is classified as an endangered missing person.

Over two decades have passed since Charles Strohm was last seen, and his case remains unsolved. The Gloucester City Police Department is the primary investigating agency. Information has been shared through various platforms, including the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System. Despite the passage of time, the hope for answers and closure for his family and community endures. The overview of the case is one of a man who vanished without a trace, leaving behind limited information for investigators to follow. The lack of concrete leads and the unknown nature of his disappearance have made this a challenging and long-standing cold case.
