David Earl Robinson, a 38-year-old Black man, was last seen on the evening of January 3, 2010, in Detroit, Michigan. He visited his mother’s home that night to discuss funeral arrangements for a late aunt and left around 9:00 p.m., saying he planned to stop briefly at a cousin’s house before returning to the home he shared with his mother. He never returned. David, also known as Dave, stood 6 feet 1 inch and weighed about 210 pounds. He had brown eyes and short tapered brown hair, a very short beard and mustache, and was noted to wear diamond stud earrings in both ears, a watch with a large face, a gold wedding band with a diamond, dark jeans, a black Detroit Pistons jacket embroidered all over with the team logo, and black Maurrys alligator shoes the night he disappeared.

At some point after his disappearance, David’s vehicle was found in Dearborn, Michigan, being driven by another man who was arrested and the car impounded. Little additional information about the investigation has been released, and the case has gone cold. The family and community continue to seek answers about what happened the night he vanished. If anyone has information about David Robinson’s movements on January 3, 2010, or his blue 1998 Mercury Grand Marquis after that night, please come forward.
