Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP9236) and 4 other sources
Albert Wade, an 85-year-old man, was last seen on June 27, 1986, in Sugar Land, Texas. At the time of his disappearance, Wade was wearing a long-sleeved gray shirt, gray trousers, brown loafers, and an old black hat. He was also carrying a brown suitcase. Wade is classified as an endangered missing person due to possible disorientation, and it is believed he may not have known his name or address, complicating the search efforts.

Wade’s physical condition and potential mental state at the time of his disappearance, as well as his advanced age, led to concern for his safety. Despite efforts by the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office, no substantial leads have emerged, and Wade's whereabouts have remained a mystery for decades. His case is still listed with the Texas Department of Public Safety and other missing persons databases, but very few details have surfaced to shed light on what happened to him after that day in 1986.

His disappearance remains unsolved, and authorities encourage anyone with information to contact the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office.
