Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP4474) and 6 other sources
Vincent Warren, a 52-year-old man, went missing from Indianapolis, Indiana, on August 19, 1996. Warren, who was mentally disabled, was last seen in the city and has not been heard from since. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as an African-American male standing six feet tall and weighing around 170 pounds. He had graying black hair, brown eyes, and wore eyeglasses. Notably, Warren had no teeth, as all of them had been extracted prior to his disappearance.

Very few details have emerged regarding the circumstances surrounding Warren’s disappearance. He was classified as an endangered missing person due to his mental disability. Despite efforts to locate him, there has been no trace of Warren or any significant leads to explain what might have happened. As a result, his case has remained unsolved for over two decades. Investigators continue to urge anyone with information to come forward, but no substantial updates have surfaced to shed light on his fate.

Given the lack of information about his case, it remains a cold case, with little more than his physical description and the fact of his disappearance on record. Warren's mental condition and the absence of any further clues make his case particularly challenging for investigators.
