Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP160034)
In the winter of 2026, a 36-year-old man from Everett, Washington, named Charles Steven Warner, embarked on a journey to Italy with a friend. The trip took an unexpected turn when, on February 5, 2026, Warner informed his friend that he would not be returning to the United States as planned. This decision marked the beginning of a distressing situation for his loved ones back home. His last known whereabouts were at a hostel in Pisa, Italy, though the name of the establishment remains unknown.
Communication from Warner ceased after this point, and concern for his well-being grew with each passing day. The circumstances surrounding his choice to remain in Italy and his subsequent disappearance are unclear.
The Snohomish County Sheriff's Office officially opened an investigation into his disappearance on March 11, 2026. Warner is described as a White male, standing at 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighing approximately 150 pounds. He has long brown hair and hazel eyes, and may have had facial hair at the time of his disappearance. In an effort to broaden the search and gather any possible information, an INTERPOL Yellow Notice was issued for him, signaling that he is a missing person on an international level. This notice facilitates the sharing of information across international law enforcement agencies.
The investigation into Charles Warner's disappearance remains active. Authorities are seeking any information that could shed light on his activities and interactions at the hostel in Pisa and his reasons for staying in Italy. The lack of communication and the sudden nature of his decision to stay abroad have left his family and friends with many unanswered questions. The Snohomish County Sheriff's Office continues its efforts to piece together the timeline of events leading up to his disappearance in the hope of bringing him home safely. The case serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities and challenges that can arise when a loved one goes missing, particularly in a foreign country.Last Seen: Feb 5, 2026
