Paul Francis Derr is listed in NamUs as a missing person from Washington, District of Columbia. NamUs case MP96568 identifies him as a White/Caucasian male who was 53 years old at the time he went missing, with a listed date of last contact of March 17, 2022. The case is associated with Washington, DC 20012, and the investigating agency is the DC Metropolitan Police Department Missing Persons Unit.
The provided case data does not list a resolution status of Alive or Deceased, and the public sources reviewed do not provide a confirmed update that he has been located.
Publicly available information contains some inconsistency about the exact last-seen date. NamUs lists March 17, 2022 as the date of last contact, while a Metropolitan Police Department missing-person bulletin says Paul Derr was reported missing on March 17, 2022 and states that he had last been seen in the 1300 block of Main Drive NW. The bulletin text says he was last seen on February 17, 2022, while the same flyer’s information panel also lists Friday, January 21, 2022, at 9:00 AM. Because these public records are not fully consistent, the safest summary is that Paul was reported missing on March 17, 2022, from Washington, DC, and that authorities connected his disappearance to the 1300 block of Main Drive NW.
Paul was described by the Metropolitan Police Department as 5 feet 9 inches tall, approximately 160 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. The NamUs data provided for the case lists his weight range as approximately 145 to 160 pounds and notes tattoos on his back, chest, and both arms. His clothing description was unknown in the police bulletin, and the NamUs data similarly does not provide a specific clothing description. These identifying details are important because they may help people recognize him or recall a possible sighting.
The case was being handled by the DC Metropolitan Police Department, with the public asked to help locate him. The MPD flyer listed the Youth and Family Services Division at 576-6768 and the Command Information Center at 727-9099. The DC missing-persons website also states that people with information about missing-person cases can contact the Metropolitan Police Department at 727-9099 or text the tip line at 50411.
The available public information is limited, and no detailed circumstances explaining why Paul disappeared are included in the sources reviewed. NamUs describes the circumstances as an unknown location, and the MPD bulletin does not provide a narrative beyond the last-seen area, the report date, and his physical description. In the absence of confirmed details, the case should be treated with care and restraint: Paul is a person with family, friends, and a community who may still be seeking answers, and any potentially relevant information should be directed to law enforcement rather than shared as speculation.Last Seen: Mar 17, 2022
