Tywan Marquis Taylor was a 44-year-old male from Raleigh, North Carolina, whose disappearance entered public view in the winter of 2020, with public case listings recording his missing date as December 15, 2020, in Raleigh. The case was entered in NamUs as missing person case MP77980, and Uncovered’s public case profile lists his date missing as December 15, 2020, his age at the time as 44, and Raleigh, North Carolina, as the location connected to the case.
The public record is limited, but what is available shows a man whose absence was serious enough for both a national missing-persons database and the Raleigh Police Department to seek help from the public.
In February 2021, the Raleigh Police Department posted a public notice stating that detectives were assisting in efforts to locate Tywan Marquis Taylor, age 44. That notice said he had not been heard from since December 12, 2020, creating a small but important discrepancy with later public case listings that use December 15, 2020, as the missing date. The department described him as approximately 5 feet 11 inches tall and around 200 pounds, and asked anyone with information to contact Raleigh Crimestoppers. The appeal was simple and urgent: investigators were looking for information that could help explain where Tywan was and what had happened after he was last known to be in contact.
The available public sources do not provide a detailed timeline of Tywan’s final known movements, the circumstances leading up to his disappearance, or whether he was last seen by family, friends, law enforcement, or another witness. They also do not publicly describe what he was wearing, whether he had a known destination, whether he was traveling by vehicle or on foot, or whether there were medical, personal, or environmental concerns that may have shaped the search. That absence of detail is part of what makes the case difficult to understand from the outside. What remains publicly visible is a narrow but concerning record: Tywan Marquis Taylor, a 44-year-old man in Raleigh, was reported missing after contact stopped in mid-December 2020, and investigators sought community assistance.
At some later point, Tywan Marquis Taylor’s case was closed according to The Doe Network’s list of located and identified persons, which states that Tywan Marquis Taylor, listed as 5846DMNC, had been reported missing on December 15, 2020, and that his case was closed per NamUs. The Doe Network entry does not provide further information, and the exact date of closure is unknown from the available public information. It also does not say whether he was located alive or deceased, so the public record available here should be treated as vague on the final circumstances.
In overview, the case of Tywan Marquis Taylor began as the disappearance of a 44-year-old man from Raleigh, North Carolina, whose last-known timeframe fell in mid-December 2020 and whose missing-person profile was tied to NamUs MP77980. Raleigh police asked the public for help after he had not been heard from, while later case summaries preserved the December 15, 2020 missing date and basic identifying information. The case no longer appears only as an active search in public missing-person spaces, because it was later listed as closed per NamUs, but the public details remain sparse. What is known is that Tywan’s absence mattered, that law enforcement and public databases documented it, and that the final publicly available resolution is limited to the statement that the case was closed, with no further explanation provided in the sources reviewed.Last Seen: Dec 15, 2020
