Frederick Freddie Douglas Stokes was 20 when he disappeared from Pontiac, Michigan. His last confirmed sighting was June 30, 1998, while he was babysitting for his sister — a responsibility he had carried out for three to four weeks beforehand. At the time he was described as Black/African American, 5 feet 6 inches, about 135 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.

There were no immediate signs of foul play, no note, and no clear indication of where he might have gone. The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation, and the case remains classified as a missing person investigation. Very few details have emerged publicly and the family continues to seek answers.

If anyone knew Freddie, saw him in Pontiac around late June 1998, or has information about his whereabouts, please share what you know with investigators.
