Earl Lamont Robinson, known as Monte, was 18 when he was last seen in Columbus, Ohio on September 23, 1997. Witnesses placed him near Brentnell Avenue and Argyle Drive getting into a car with some friends. After that moment there has been no contact and his whereabouts are unknown.

Robinson is described as a Black male, 5 feet 10 inches, about 165 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a gray sweatsuit and Converse tennis shoes (size 8.5 or 9). Distinguishing marks include linear scars on his elbow and hip, a facial birthmark that looks like a scar, and a cut on his face at the time he went missing.

Very little is known about what happened after he entered the car with friends, and those who knew him continue to seek answers. If anyone has information about Monte’s movements that day or has seen him since September 23, 1997, please come forward.
