Sean Robert Foster was 17 when he was last seen in Summerville, South Carolina, on August 6, 1983. He is described as having sandy, shoulder-length hair and blue eyes, and he wore glasses for both near and far vision. Distinguishing marks include a scar above his left eyebrow, a scar on the top of his index finger, and a previously fractured Achilles tendon.

The most unusual feature of this case is the delay in reporting: no missing person report was filed until June 1989, nearly six years after Sean was last seen. That long gap has left many basic questions unanswered and has complicated efforts to reconstruct his movements and contacts in August 1983. The Dorchester County Sheriff’s Office currently lists him as an endangered missing person and the investigation remains open.

If anyone knew Sean, where he spent his time in 1983, or has information about his life after August 6, 1983, please come forward.
