Paul Forbes, a 40-year-old man from Clayton, Delaware, was last seen on August 7, 2022. He was seen driving away from his home in a red 2013 Volkswagen Jetta with Pennsylvania license plate number KHL-5196. The vehicle he was driving was noted to have a round Pennsylvania sheriffs support sticker on the rear driver's side window and was not registered in his name. At the time of his disappearance, he was wearing a white tank top, royal blue Nike gym shorts with a white swoosh on the left leg, tall black socks, and black and white high-top sneakers. His case was officially entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System on April 3, 2024.

Paul is described as a white male with black hair and brown eyes, standing at 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing approximately 205 pounds. He has several distinctive tattoos, including the year "1982" with a star on his neck. His left arm has various black ink tattoos from his wrist upwards. On his left hand, between his index finger and thumb, he has a tattoo of "3-19-03" and various letters and numbers on the back of his fingers. His right hand has a spider web tattoo between the index finger and thumb, along with various letters and numbers on the back of his fingers. A large spider in a web is tattooed on the back of his right hand, extending to his forearm.

The community of Clayton has been deeply affected by his disappearance, with residents organizing search parties and holding vigils in the hopes of his return. Despite these local efforts and the involvement of law enforcement, there have been no significant leads in his case, and his whereabouts remain unknown. The circumstances surrounding his departure were considered uncharacteristic, which has heightened the concern among his family and friends. The investigation into his disappearance is being handled by the Orwigsburg Police Department in Pennsylvania.
