Alexander Lamar Crear, known to some as Alexis, was 24 when he vanished from Folsom, Louisiana in the summer of 2012. The last confirmed sighting was the evening of July 14, 2012, when he left a relative’s home around 10 p.m. and reportedly departed in a dark-colored truck driven by an unidentified person. At the time he was wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans.

Living a transient lifestyle, Alexander had been staying with friends and relatives, was unemployed, and did not own a vehicle. His prepaid cell phone went inactive after July 14, and he missed his customary first-of-the-month visit to his mother to collect his Social Security check, prompting concern. He is described as an African-American male, 6 feet tall, about 185 pounds, with black hair in long braids, brown eyes, an old eye-injury scar, and a chest tattoo reading Margat.

The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office opened the investigation after his mother reported him missing on August 1, 2012. The most critical unresolved detail remains who was driving the truck Alexander left with that night. If anyone knew Alexander’s movements around July 14, 2012, or who might have been driving a dark-colored truck in Folsom that evening, please share what you know.
