Lonnie Perry was 23 when he was reported missing from Parkville, Maryland, on August 28, 2002. Family and friends described him as friendly and responsible; he was last seen in his neighborhood and his unexpected absence worried those who knew his regular routines and close family ties.

Local law enforcement conducted searches of surrounding areas and worked with community volunteers in the days after he vanished. Investigators interviewed acquaintances, family members, and neighbors to piece together his last known activities, while the family distributed flyers, used social media, and took part in public appeals to keep the case visible.

Weeks became months without any credible leads, and the investigation struggled to produce substantial evidence about Lonnie’s whereabouts, leaving his loved ones in distress and uncertain about what happened. Did anyone in Parkville at the end of August 2002 see Lonnie or have information that could help locate him?
