Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP130345) and 7 other sources
Scott Michael Schwarz, a 60-year-old businessman who split his time between his family's home in Georgia and his work in Ohio, was last seen on the evening of August 9, 2024. Surveillance footage from his apartment complex at the Liberty Center on Blake Street in Liberty Township, Ohio, captured him walking down a flight of stairs and exiting the building at approximately 8:13 p.m. At the time of his disappearance, he was wearing a gray 'CSI' t-shirt and dark-colored jeans. His wife reported him missing to the Butler County Sheriff's Office on August 11, 2024, after being unable to get in contact with him, which his family stated was highly uncharacteristic.

The investigation into Scott's disappearance was quickly met with a lack of leads. Authorities found no signs of forced entry at his apartment. Inside, they discovered leftover food from a local Italian grille on the counter. Crucially, his vehicle, cell phone, and other personal belongings were all left behind at the residence. Despite a thorough search and review of surveillance footage in the surrounding area, investigators could find no further trace of him after he walked out of his apartment building. There has been no activity on his credit cards since he went missing.

The circumstances surrounding Scott Schwarz's disappearance remain a mystery to both law enforcement and his loved ones. He is described as a white male, standing 5'9' tall and weighing 190 pounds, with gray hair and blue eyes. His family has made public pleas for any information that could lead to his whereabouts. The Butler County Sheriff's Office continues to investigate his case and encourages anyone with information to contact them. The case is a perplexing one, marked by the sudden and complete lack of communication from a man who, by all accounts, was in regular contact with his family.
