Ira Romair Bishop, 38, of Claymont, Delaware, was last seen on May 17, 2018, at Harrah’s Casino in Chester, Pennsylvania. A single father and barber who mentored teenagers, his family became alarmed after he uncharacteristically missed his young daughter’s birthday party and had no known reason to leave them.

About 20 miles from the casino, in Fairmount Park in Philadelphia, a black 2018 Dodge Challenger registered to Bishop was found abandoned and completely burned out. Authorities searched the area with a K-9 unit and recovered some articles of clothing nearby, though it could not be confirmed those items belonged to Bishop. Despite thorough searches, no trace of him was found.

His family said he had been gambling more than usual before he disappeared and insisted Ira had no reason to be in that part of the city. The circumstances remain unsolved and the family continues to seek closure.

If anyone saw Ira after he left the casino on May 17, 2018, or has information about the Challenger found in Fairmount Park, please come forward.
