Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP61136) and 4 other sources
In the autumn of 2019, a family's life was changed when Nathan D. Francis, a 34-year-old man from Cleveland, Ohio, went missing. Known to his loved ones as Nate, he was last seen on September 20, 2019. On the day he vanished, Nathan was reportedly wearing a multicolored striped fleece jacket, blue jeans, and a distinctive green shirt with 'E Scrap Solution' written on the front left chest. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance remain unclear, leaving his family and community with unanswered questions.

Nathan is described as a Black / African American male with brown hair and brown eyes. At the time he went missing, he was 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighed approximately 197 pounds. The Cleveland Police Department's 5th District is handling the investigation into his disappearance, and a report was filed on the same day he was last seen. His case is listed in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System under case number MP61136.

The days, weeks, and months following Nathan's disappearance have been filled with uncertainty for his family and friends. With little information available about what might have happened to him, the case has grown cold over time, yet the hope of finding answers endures. The lack of any significant leads has made it difficult for investigators to piece together the events of that day. The overview of this case is one of a loving family member who vanished without a trace, leaving a community to wonder about his fate and to continue to search for any information that might bring him home.
