Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP129929) and 2 other sources
In the early morning hours of November 27, 2023, in Memphis, Tennessee, 15-year-old Nigel Billingsley was seen getting into an unknown vehicle. This would be the last time he was seen. At the time of his disappearance, Nigel was described as a Black male, standing between 5 feet 10 inches and 5 feet 11 inches tall, and weighing between 120 and 125 pounds. He has black hair and brown eyes. The circumstances surrounding him entering the vehicle at approximately 2:30 a.m. remain unclear, leaving his family and investigators with many unanswered questions.

The Memphis Police Department opened an investigation into Nigel's disappearance, documenting the case under the number 2311031022ME. Details about the vehicle he was last seen entering have not been made publicly available, adding to the complexity of the case. The lack of specific information regarding the car or its occupants has made it difficult for law enforcement to generate strong leads. Appeals for public assistance have been made in the hope that someone might have seen something, no matter how insignificant it may have seemed at the time.

The case of Nigel Billingsley is a heart-wrenching example of the many young people who go missing. With very little information to go on, the investigation has been challenging for the Memphis Police Department. The initial report simply states he was last seen getting into an unknown vehicle, a vague and concerning last known action. Without further witnesses or surveillance footage, the direction of the investigation is limited, and the family is left to hope for any piece of information that could lead to his whereabouts.
