Randall Glynn Childs, 50, vanished from Detroit on the evening of June 7, 2011. He was last seen at about 11:30 p.m. escorting his girlfriend, Karen Young, from his sixth-floor apartment at the Roberts III Apartments, 3901 Grand River Avenue near Rosa Parks Boulevard, to meet a ride. Neither Childs nor Young was seen again after that moment.

Childs was described as a Black male, 5 feet 9 inches tall, about 140 pounds, wearing a white t-shirt, blue jeans, and white gym shoes. He left behind toiletries; Young left her purse. Childs was a father of four, a Northern High School graduate who enjoyed singing and poetry, and worked as a cook at Pasquales in Royal Oak and as a neighborhood handyman. Family searches of hospitals and morgues produced no clear answers.

The investigation produced few leads. A six-page letter from a prison inmate sent to Childs’ sister was turned over to Detroit police; the letter’s relevance remains under review. If anyone saw Randall Childs or Karen Young on June 7, 2011, or has information about their disappearance, can you help with details?
