Aaron Dale Martin was a 54-year-old male who was last known to have contact on February 6, 2015, in Renton, Washington, in King County. Official NamUs information identifies him as Aaron Dale Martin, a White/Caucasian man, and lists the date of last contact as February 6, 2015, with the missing-person case published under NamUs MP159145. The same official case information places his last known location in Renton, while other public missing-person materials describe him as missing out of
Redmond, reflecting the Redmond Police Department’s role as the investigating agency and Aaron’s known ties to the Redmond area.
The circumstances released publicly describe a narrow and troubling window. Aaron was reportedly dropped off at Renton City Hall at approximately 5:00 p.m. on February 6, 2015. After that point, the ordinary patterns that might have helped people locate him appear to have stopped. NamUs reports that Aaron was known to be transient and that he would typically camp near an abandoned Redeemer Church off 166th Avenue Northeast and Redmond Way, but he was not seen there after the disappearance. He also had not picked up his mail since the end of January 2015, a detail that stood out because it suggested his usual routines had been interrupted before or around the time he vanished.
Public descriptions of Aaron give a picture of a man who could be recognized by those who knew the area and may have crossed paths with him. NamUs and Washington State Patrol materials list him at about 5 feet 11 inches tall and about 145 pounds, while The Charley Project lists him at 5 feet 11 inches and about 150 pounds. He had brown hair and blue eyes. Clothing and personal items associated with the case include a hat, a black leather jacket, and a dream catcher necklace; The Charley Project specifically notes a green hat and dream catcher necklace, while NamUs-linked reporting lists a brown hat, black leather jacket, and dream catcher necklace. These small personal details matter because they are the kinds of observations that can remain in someone’s memory long after a brief encounter.
Aaron’s disappearance was especially concerning because publicly available case summaries describe him as vulnerable at the time he went missing. The Charley Project classifies the case as endangered missing and reports that Aaron was in poor health when he disappeared. A private-investigation notice published in 2015 emphasized that investigators and police were involved and appealed for help bringing Aaron home, noting that he had family who cared about him. That appeal, while brief, underscored the human reality behind the case: Aaron was not only a name in a database, but a person whose absence left people searching for answers.
The Redmond Police Department is listed as the investigating agency, with public bulletins directing anyone with information to contact Redmond Police at 425-556-2500; Washington State Patrol materials also list the Missing and Unidentified Persons Unit as a point of contact at 1-800-543-5678. As reflected in official and public missing-person materials, the case centers on Aaron Dale Martin’s last known contact in Renton on February 6, 2015, his connection to the Redmond area, his absence from a familiar camping location near the abandoned Redeemer Church, and the fact that he stopped picking up his mail around the same period. In overview, Aaron’s case is the story of a 54-year-old man living a vulnerable and transient life in King County who was last seen after being dropped off at Renton City Hall, then seemingly disappeared from the routines and places where he was known, leaving investigators and those who cared about him with unresolved questions and a continuing need for information.Last Seen: Feb 6, 2015
