Lee Curtis Vanderbilt was 39 when he was last seen walking away from his Birmingham, Alabama, home on July 20, 2022. He left wearing a black shirt with camouflage-print sleeves, camouflage-print shorts, and Nautica sandals. Vanderbilt was known for daily communication with his mother and fiancée, and the sudden silence after he left prompted immediate concern.

Investigators have kept the case open; at one point a person of interest was identified but authorities said there wasn’t enough evidence to move the investigation forward. The family remains worried his disappearance could be overlooked and continues to seek answers and closure.

If anyone in Birmingham remembers seeing Lee on or after July 20, 2022, or has information about his whereabouts, please share what you know.
