Sharif Stokes, 24, of Rockville, Maryland, was reported missing on May 25, 1993, after he was last seen leaving a friend’s home and never returned. Family and friends described him as charismatic and dedicated; when he failed to come back they notified Montgomery County Police, who conducted searches of surrounding areas and interviewed friends and acquaintances while asking the community for information.

Sharif’s family led local efforts to find him, distributing flyers and appealing for leads. Investigators reviewed potential sightings and followed multiple avenues, but the case produced no significant leads and remains unresolved. The lack of information left his loved ones seeking answers and supporting one another through the uncertainty.

Anyone who knew Sharif, saw him around May 25, 1993, or has information that could help locate him is asked to come forward.
