Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP24758) and 2 other sources
Frank Filyaw, a 59-year-old man from Dallas, Texas, was last seen on February 25, 2010. At the time of his disappearance, Filyaw was known to regularly use the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) system and sometimes traveled by bicycle. He was last reported in the 500 block of North Buckner Boulevard in Dallas. Described as having a gray, unkempt appearance, Filyaw had mobility issues due to bad knees, which prevented him from walking long distances. His family had connections with the First Unitarian Church of Dallas, although there were few details available regarding his disappearance.

Despite being classified as an endangered missing person, with Filyaw considered disabled, little information has surfaced to help resolve the case. His family and law enforcement have continued efforts to locate him, but his whereabouts remain unknown more than a decade later.
