David Anthony Williams was 53 years old when he was last known to have contact with others in Bangor, Maine, on October 3, 2022. He was a White/Caucasian man with brown hair, blue eyes, a height of about 5 feet 10 inches, and a weight of about 160 pounds. His NamUs case was listed as MP125016, and publicly available missing-person listings connected him to Bangor as the place where he was last seen.
The available case information describes David as undomiciled, someone whose daily life placed him in and around transient encampments rather than a fixed residence. That detail is important because it meant the places where he might have been seen, remembered, or helped were not limited to one home, workplace, or routine address, but instead included outdoor encampments and informal communities where people may come and go with little documentation.
In the beginning of October 2022, David was reportedly last seen in the area known as Tent City off Cleveland Street in Bangor. The available information also says he was known to stay in transient camps and to frequent transient areas in Old Town, Maine, expanding the circle of concern beyond Bangor alone. He was not simply a name on a list; he was a man moving through spaces where people experiencing homelessness often rely on word of mouth, familiar faces, and informal support networks. Those circumstances can make a disappearance especially difficult to trace, because someone’s absence may not be recognized immediately in the same way it might be if they missed work, school, or appointments. The case was handled by the Bangor Police Department, with the agency listed in connection with the case and the date of last contact recorded as October 3, 2022.
David’s physical description included a bald crown with hair remaining on the sides, consistent with male-pattern baldness, and blue eyes. One identifying feature noted in the case information was a tattoo of a dagger with a skull on his left forearm. Clothing information was limited, but one item associated with him was a pair of wool winter socks embroidered with the words “JW SOCKS.” These details matter because in missing-person cases, especially those involving people who may be outdoors or moving between camps, small identifiers can become important in helping investigators, outreach workers, medical personnel, or members of the public recognize the person or connect information back to the right case. Maine State Police describes the state Office of Chief Medical Examiner as the official state clearinghouse for missing people in Maine and says the office uses NamUs to help track and manage missing-person files; NamUs itself is a national repository and resource center for missing, unidentified, and unclaimed person cases.
The case data now indicates that David’s case resolution status is Deceased, meaning this is no longer an active missing-person case and that he was regrettably located deceased. The exact date and circumstances of that recovery are not made clear in the provided case information, so the most accurate way to describe the resolution is that the case was eventually closed after David was found deceased, with the exact date unknown from the available details. His story remains a sober reminder that people living without stable housing can disappear from public view in ways that are quiet, complicated, and deeply painful for those who knew them. From the last report of David Anthony Williams in the Tent City area off Cleveland Street in Bangor, to the references to his connections with transient areas in Bangor and Old Town, to the later resolution of the case as deceased, the overview of this case is that David was a 53-year-old man last known to be in Bangor on October 3, 2022, remembered through a small set of identifying details, investigated through Bangor Police Department and NamUs records, and ultimately no longer missing because he was found deceased, though the public information available is vague about when and how that final resolution occurred.Last Seen: Oct 3, 2022
