Edwin X. Brown, 41, of Houston, Texas, has been missing since the spring of 2013. He was last seen by a friend in Houston on May 2, 2013. Five days earlier he left his residence in the 5500 block of Farley at about 11:00 p.m., driving a red 2003 Volkswagen Beetle.

A few days after he vanished, Brown’s vehicle was found abandoned in the 13700 block of Pecantex Road in Humble, Texas, near his home. He has had no communications since his last sighting. At the time he disappeared he was believed to be wearing a blue short-sleeved polo shirt and blue capri pants and has a distinctive tribal tattoo on his upper left shoulder.

The Harris County Sheriff’s Office is handling the investigation; few details have been made public. If anyone knew Edwin, his movements in late April and early May 2013, or saw that red 2003 Volkswagen Beetle in Humble, please share what is known.
