On January 20, 2012, 18-year-old Jerome Allen Lamar, known affectionately as "Phat," disappeared from Flint, Michigan, leaving his family searching for answers. He was last seen by his sister at the DNR Market, located at the intersection of Mackin Road and Chevrolet Avenue. Earlier that day, he had been picked up by a friend in a green Ford Explorer. When his sister saw him later, he was alone in that same vehicle. It remains unknown if he had plans to meet with anyone else. From that moment, Jerome has not been seen or heard from again, and details surrounding his case have been scarce. At the time he went missing, Jerome stood between 5'7" and 5'8" and weighed approximately 150 to 160 pounds. He was last seen wearing light blue jeans, a black zip-up sweater jacket, and a green Pelle Pelle jacket. There is some uncertainty about his footwear; his mother saw him earlier in the day wearing green and white Nike Air Max sneakers, while his sister recalled him wearing black tennis shoes. Jerome is a Black male with black hair and brown eyes. He has several distinct tattoos, which his family hopes will help in identifying him. These include his mother's name, "Tondra," on his arm, the phrase "Rest in Peace Bucks" on his shoulder, and the name "Toni" on his arm or neck. Additionally, he has "Death before dishonor" tattooed on his chest and his daughter's name, "Zaynaih," on his neck. The circumstances of what happened to Jerome after he was last seen in the green Ford Explorer remain a mystery. Some reports indicate he was seen near Hurley Medical Center on the day he disappeared. The lack of concrete information has left his loved ones in a state of prolonged uncertainty. The investigation into his disappearance is being handled by the Flint Police Department. An overview of Jerome Lamar's case highlights the painful reality of a young man who vanished without a trace. He was last seen alone in a vehicle after being with a friend. Despite the passage of time, his case remains unsolved, leaving his family still searching for closure. The few available details about his clothing and distinctive tattoos are the primary identifiers in the ongoing effort to locate him. The Flint Police Department continues to hold the case file, hoping for any information that might shed light on what happened to Jerome.
