In the summer of 2019, a then 16-year-old male, Ramel Hayes, disappeared from Albany, New York. He was last seen on July 17, 2019, in the city of Albany. At the time he went missing, he was described as being 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing approximately 400 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. The clothing he was last seen wearing consisted of grey sweatpants, a grey shirt, and blue and yellow sneakers. Concerns for his well-being grew as time passed with no contact from the teenager, prompting his case to be entered into national databases for missing persons. Authorities with the Albany Police Department opened an investigation into Ramel's disappearance. Early in the investigation, it was believed that the missing teen might have traveled to the Manhattan area of New York City. The New York State Missing Persons Clearinghouse became involved, publicizing his case in an effort to generate new leads from the public. Despite these efforts, there have been no significant updates regarding his whereabouts, and his case has remained unsolved for years. The disappearance of Ramel Hayes continues to be a source of concern for law enforcement and his community. His case is listed in national databases such as the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs), ensuring that his information remains accessible to law enforcement agencies across the country. The Albany Police Department, along with other agencies, encourages anyone with information to come forward in the hope of bringing closure to his family. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance remain unclear, and the investigation is ongoing.
