Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP6819) and 11 other sources
AbdulNur Wilson, a 17-year-old from Wilmington, Delaware, disappeared on November 10, 1998. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as being 5'5" to 5'9" in height, weighing around 155 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He also had a distinctive homemade tattoo of the word "MOM" on his left shoulder. On the day he was last seen, AbdulNur was wearing a blue and black Army fatigue jacket, rust-colored boots, and an expensive watch. Known to use the aliases "Duke," "Ab," or "Abdul Malik Wilson," his name has been spelled in various ways across different reports.

AbdulNur was classified as an endangered runaway, with authorities suspecting that he left of his own accord. He was known to frequent areas in Wilmington associated with drug activity, which may have been a factor in his disappearance. Despite this, little information has surfaced regarding his whereabouts in the years since. He is believed to have remained in the Wilmington area after he vanished, but no confirmed sightings or leads have emerged to resolve the case.

The details of AbdulNur's case remain sparse, and his disappearance continues to be unsolved. Age progression images have been released over the years to assist in identifying him if he is still alive, showing what he might look like in his 20s, 30s, and 40s. Law enforcement continues to seek information from the public in the hopes of finding new leads that could provide answers in his case.
