In the winter of 2013, a 63-year-old man named Frank William Crosswhite vanished from the city of Detroit, Michigan. He was last seen on December 1, 2013, and since that day, there has been no contact with him. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance remain unclear, leaving a void of information for those who knew him. The Detroit Police Department is the investigating agency handling his case, but few details have ever been made public. His case was officially created on June 26, 2014, and he has not been seen or heard from again. Frank Crosswhite is described as a Black male with brown eyes and gray or partially gray hair that was longer and unkempt at the time he went missing. He also had a long, salt-and-pepper beard. Standing at six feet three inches and weighing around 165 pounds, he was a man of notable height. When he was last seen, it is believed he may have been wearing a blue coat that had a "Hostess" logo on it. However, it was also known that he would wear whatever clothing he was able to get. Mr. Crosswhite did not own a vehicle of his own and would rely on paying others for rides when he needed to go to the bank to withdraw money. The disappearance of Frank William Crosswhite is a case with very few leads or available information. For over a decade, his whereabouts have remained a mystery. The lack of specific details regarding the circumstances of his disappearance has made the investigation challenging. Without any communication or sightings since that December day in 2013, the case has grown cold, leaving his family and community with unanswered questions about what happened to him. The official investigation remains open, a quiet and persistent search for a man who seemingly vanished without a trace.
