Tristan Turner was 22 when he was last seen on August 20, 2005, in Montgomery Village, Maryland. Described as friendly and close to family and friends, his failure to return home or make contact was out of character and prompted a missing person report and a family-led search.

The Montgomery County Police Department opened an investigation, interviewing people who might have seen Tristan and following leads, but few promising results emerged. Family and friends distributed flyers and appealed to local media; over the years cold case advocates and missing persons organizations have taken an interest. Tristan’s family has stayed active in community events and vigils to keep attention on the case.

Anyone who saw Tristan in Montgomery Village around August 20, 2005, or has information that could help find him is asked to come forward.
