Nathaniel Reed was a 16-year-old Black male when he vanished from Detroit, Michigan, last seen on November 9, 1988. The only firm physical details released are his height, about five feet six inches, weight near 140 pounds, black hair and brown eyes. The last documented contact was at approximately 10:30 that night, but no address, neighborhood, or description of clothing or belongings has been made public.

Very little is known about Nathaniel’s movements that day. Records do not say whether he was at home, visiting friends, heading to work or school, or if anyone expected to meet him. No suspect, arrest, or evidence pointing to foul play has been announced.

This remains an open endangered missing person case with few concrete leads and many unanswered questions. Does anyone have information about Nathaniel’s last known whereabouts or who might have been with him on November 9, 1988?
