Charles Darby Garrett, called Charlie, was 33 when he was last seen in the early evening of October 2, 2016, at a home on Capital Way in Anderson, South Carolina. He left the residence on foot around 7:30 p.m., reportedly heading toward Highway 24. At that time he wore a white or tan shirt, blue jeans, and black sneakers.

Garrett is described as a white male, 6 feet tall, 180 to 200 pounds, with brown hair, blue eyes, a small scar on the right side of his face, and a history of multiple knee operations. His mother reported him missing to the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office about a week after he was last seen. The family says they have not seen or heard from him since and that the disappearance has been deeply painful, especially for his daughter who was a young girl at the time.

Investigators have kept the case open and say leads have been scarce; they believe someone in Garrett’s circle at the time may hold information relevant to what happened. The circumstances of his vanishing while walking from a residential street toward a nearby highway remain unexplained. Does anyone who knew Charles or saw him in Anderson on October 2, 2016 have information to share?
