Joseph Louis Abreu, 36, was last seen on November 26, 2024, in Ranger, a rural community in Lincoln County, West Virginia. At the time he was living along Steer Fork Road in Ranger and is described as about 6 feet tall, roughly 200 pounds, with blue eyes and brown hair that he sometimes kept shaved. He has a strong build and several distinctive tattoos, including a cartoon-figure tattoo on his neck that advocates say may aid identification.

Missing-persons advocates note that Abreu did not drive, which could have limited his mobility around the time he disappeared. State police issued a public appeal in May 2025 and his case is listed in NamUs as MP150601, with the entry documenting his last known contact in November 2024. The investigation remains open and authorities have not announced any confirmed leads. If anyone knew Joseph, saw him in late November 2024, or has information about Steer Fork Road, please come forward.
