Charles Jacob Goforth was 22 years old when he disappeared from Jackson, Mississippi. Public missing-person records identify him as a White male with black hair and blue eyes; the Mississippi Repository lists him at 68 inches tall and 160 pounds, while NamUs-associated data lists his height range as approximately 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 10 inches and his weight at about 180 pounds.
His case is tied to Hinds County and is listed under NamUs case MP103870, with the Jackson Police Department identified as the investigating agency.
The available public record contains some inconsistency about the date he was last seen. NamUs-associated information gives the date of last contact as March 26, 2016, while the Mississippi Repository and MissingSippi list March 23, 2016, as the date missing or last seen. What is clear across the public sources is that Charles was living in or connected to a boarding-home setting in Jackson when he vanished. MissingSippi identifies the location as Handyman Boarding Home at 149 Waycaster Avenue in Jackson, and the Mississippi Repository describes officers responding to 149 Wascaster Avenue after Charles’s mother reported that he had not been seen.
At the time he went missing, Charles was described as a vulnerable adult. The Mississippi Repository states that he was in the care or custody of Handyman Boarding Home when he disappeared, and that he was without his needed medication and without identification. MissingSippi likewise reports that he was not in possession of his medication and had left his identification behind. Those details make his disappearance especially concerning, because they suggest he may have been without items that could have helped him safely navigate, communicate, obtain care, or be identified if he came into contact with someone who did not know him.
After Charles disappeared, hospitals were reportedly checked repeatedly, but he was not found. Publicly available summaries do not describe a confirmed sighting after he left or vanished from the boarding-home environment, nor do they provide a known destination, travel route, vehicle, or person he may have been with. MissingSippi notes that few details are available, and the Mississippi Repository’s case page similarly gives only a limited account of the circumstances. The absence of a clear timeline after his last known location has left the case with painful unanswered questions for those who knew and loved him.
The case remains listed as open by the Mississippi Repository, and the attached case data does not indicate that Charles has been found alive or located deceased. The available public information presents the case as the disappearance of a young man who was last known in Jackson, Mississippi, while connected to a boarding home, vulnerable, without needed medication, and without identification. Despite checks of hospitals and the involvement of the Jackson Police Department, no public source reviewed provides a confirmed resolution; in overview, Charles Jacob Goforth’s disappearance is a still-unresolved missing-person case centered on a vulnerable 22-year-old man last known in the Waycaster/Wascaster Avenue area of Jackson in March 2016.Last Seen: Mar 26, 2016
