Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP80778) and 4 other sources
Sean B. Regan was 63 years old when he was reported missing from Washington, D.C., on February 20, 2021. Online records from NamUs list his case as Missing Person / NamUs #MP80778, with the date of last contact recorded as February 20, 2021, and the case still shown as published rather than resolved. The provided case data does not list a case resolution status of Alive or Deceased, so based on the available online information reviewed, this remains an active missing person case.

The Metropolitan Police Department reported that Sean was last seen in the 4300 block of Jay Street Northeast in Washington, D.C. MPD described him as a 63-year-old white male, 5 feet 11 inches tall, about 150 pounds, with gray hair and brown eyes. MPD’s public notice said he was last seen wearing black pants with white shorts over them, a black coat, and black shoes.

Additional case information states that Sean left his group home at approximately 10:00 a.m. on February 20, 2021. It was unclear where he was going, but he was expected to return by a 10:00 p.m. curfew. He did not come back that evening and did not make contact to explain where he was or why he had not returned. The Charley Project classifies his case as endangered missing and notes that he is a dependent adult, a detail that makes his disappearance especially concerning.

Sean’s physical description varies slightly by source but remains generally consistent. NamUs lists him as Sean B. Regan, a white/Caucasian male with gray or partially gray hair and brown eyes, standing between 5 feet 10 inches and 6 feet tall and weighing between 140 and 155 pounds. The Charley Project gives the same height and weight range and also notes gray hair and brown eyes. The public case data also records that he wore size 11 shoes.

The investigating agency is the DC Metropolitan Police Department Missing Persons Unit. The case data identifies the agency case number as 21-022723 and lists Detective Matthew Batko with the Missing Persons Unit as the investigating contact. MPD’s public missing-person notice asked for the public’s assistance in locating Sean, and The Charley Project lists the Metropolitan Police Department phone number as 202-576-6768 for information related to the case.

There are few publicly available details beyond the circumstances of Sean leaving his home and failing to return by curfew. What is known is that he was expected home, did not arrive, and was not known to have contacted anyone afterward. His disappearance left loved ones and investigators without clear answers, and the continued publication of his case reflects the ongoing need for information that could help determine what happened to him and bring resolution to those who care about him.
