Joseph Osell Frazier was 17 when he vanished in Tukwila, Washington, after a police pursuit on October 24, 2007. He was reportedly driving a stolen vehicle with two others; after the car stopped all three fled on foot. His companions were caught, but Joseph ran toward the Green River. Witnesses saw him jump into the cold, fast-moving water and swim toward the middle, then go under and not reappear.

Divers conducted an extensive search but found no sign of him. The river’s murky water and submerged logs and debris made searching difficult. Joseph is described as a Black male, 5 feet 6 inches tall, 135 pounds, with short black hair, brown eyes and three small scars on his right eyebrow. He was last seen wearing a black jacket and blue jeans. The Tukwila Police Department lists the case as Lost/Injured Missing and Joseph is presumed to have drowned, though his body has never been recovered.

Did anyone in the area at the time see anything about Joseph’s movements before or after he entered the river?
