Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP71149) and 4 other sources
In the spring of 1985, a young man named Marvin Mott vanished from New York, New York. On May 19th of that year, the 27-year-old Black male was last seen. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as being 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing around 160 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. When he was last seen, he was reportedly wearing a black tank top, black shorts, and white sneakers. The specific details of his last known whereabouts and the company he was with have not been made publicly available, leaving a void in the timeline of events leading to his disappearance.

The New York City Police Department's Missing Persons Squad opened an investigation into Marvin's case, assigning it the case number KNMP05736. His information was also entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System under case number MP71149. Despite these procedural steps, the investigation has been hampered by a lack of public information and media attention over the years. No distinctive physical features, nicknames, or information regarding his mode of transportation have been released to the public, making it difficult for citizens to provide meaningful tips.

Decades have passed since Marvin Mott was last seen, and his case has grown cold. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance are simply listed as 'Missing,' offering no clues as to whether he may have left on his own or met with foul play. The lack of available details has made this a particularly challenging case for law enforcement to solve. The investigation remains open, but without new leads, the trail has gone cold, leaving his family and community without answers. The overview of this case is one of many that have unfortunately faded from the public eye, a quiet and unresolved mystery waiting for a break that may never come.

Last Seen: May 19, 1985
