William Junior Adkins was 57 when he was last seen in Richmond, Virginia, on May 26, 2012. He is described as a Black male about 6 feet 4 inches tall, roughly 200 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.

William’s family had periods without contact from him for months, which delayed the missing-person report; by the time he was reported missing months later, the trail was already thin. No clothing description, vehicle, destination, medical condition, or specific incident is publicly linked to his last movements. Richmond police included his case among several cold missing-person investigations and asked the public for tips.

If anyone saw William in Richmond, Petersburg, or along routes between those cities around May 2012, please contact Crime Stoppers at 804-780-1000 or submit an anonymous tip through the listed channels.
