Willie Frank Rainey, 58, disappeared from his Detroit home on West Goldengate Street on December 26, 2013. He told his son he would be away for a few days and left at about 4:00 p.m., but never returned and was not heard from again.

His disappearance was out of character. He left without identification and without any winter outerwear in the middle of a Michigan winter. Groceries were left out on a table, and he lived with diabetes, a medical condition that made the lack of preparation particularly alarming. Rainey is described as a Black male, 5 feet 10 inches to 5 feet 11 inches, 150 to 165 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes and a healed dog-bite scar on his lower left leg that required stitches.

The Detroit Police Department investigated but no significant leads have been developed and the case remains unsolved. Does anyone who knew Willie, his routines, or movements in December 2013 have information to share?
