Colin Decruise, 31, is listed in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System as a missing adult last seen in Houston, Texas, on January 3, 2025. The NamUs public portal serves as the national clearinghouse for missing persons and confirms the Houston location and adult-missing classification for this case.
According to the NamUs entry, Colin is a Black/African American male with black hair and brown eyes.
At the time he was reported missing, he was described as approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall and about 170 pounds. The entry notes a simple but troubling circumstance: he left his residence and did not return. These are the core identifiers and last-known circumstances that investigators and the public rely on when scanning tips and potential sightings through official channels.
Houston Police Department is the investigating agency for adult missing person cases within the city and provides the point of contact for case updates and new information. Within HPD, missing person investigations are handled alongside runaway and juvenile matters, and the department directs families and tipsters to official lines to ensure information is preserved for the case file.
Families in Harris County often work in parallel with state and national resources. NamUs exists to centralize photos, physical descriptors, last-seen details, and investigator contacts in one place, while also supporting casework with forensic tools such as DNA, fingerprints, and odontology when needed. Harris County’s Institute of Forensic Sciences and other local partners point families to NamUs because it is searchable by law enforcement and the public, increasing the chances that a crucial detail reaches the right eyes.
Community channels can help sustain attention. Crime Stoppers of Houston operates an anonymous tips line at 713-222-TIPS and routinely amplifies verified missing person information in coordination with law enforcement. Sharing the official case details, a recent photograph, and the date and location Colin was last seen—always sourced from investigator-verified bulletins—can aid outreach while protecting the integrity of the investigation.
Colin’s loved ones and neighbors deserve answers. Keeping his information current in NamUs, reporting any possible sightings directly to Houston Police, and using established community tip lines offers the best path to bring together fragments of information with care and accuracy—so that every lead is seen, and every step forward honors both his safety and his family’s hope.Last Seen: Jan 3, 2025
