David Guenin Stern was 29 when he disappeared from Washington, D.C., on November 27, 2018. An accountant at Center City Public Charter Schools, he texted his fiancée at 4:22 p.m. that he was leaving work early to see a doctor and would be home later; that was his last message. Surveillance footage captured him at 6:07 p.m. at Dixie Liquor Store on the 3400 block of M Street NW, where he bought a pint of Crown Royal — a neighborhood he had no known ties to. His phone last pinged at about 9:00 p.m. in the Georgetown/Arlington area. He left behind his backpack and an inhaler, and there has been no activity on his bank accounts or cards since. The Metropolitan Police Department has classified the case as a critical missing person investigation, but no significant leads have been reported and the case remains unsolved.

If anyone knew David’s routines, saw him that night, or has information about his movements in the Georgetown or Arlington area, please come forward.
