Byron O’Neal, 65, disappeared from the Columbus, Ohio area in late summer 2018. Described as a Black male with black hair and brown eyes, he stood about 5 feet 4 inches and weighed around 135 pounds.

What makes this case unusual is the long delay before anyone reported him missing. His employer filed the first missing person report roughly eight months after his last known sighting, and little else has been released about his movements, state of mind, or any investigative leads. The case is listed as an endangered missing person matter, indicating authorities consider him at risk.

If anyone in Columbus or Whitehall remembers seeing Byron around the end of August or early September 2018, or knows why his absence went unreported for so long, please share what you know with investigators.
