Charles Tyler Staples was 76 when he was last seen in Henrico County, Virginia, on August 13, 1980. He is described as a Black male, 5 feet 7 inches tall and about 150 pounds. From that date no one reported seeing or hearing from him again, and he is classified as an endangered missing person.

Very little about his disappearance has ever been made public. Clothing, state of mind, movements that day and other routine timeline details are not available, leaving a large gap around his last known moments. The Henrico County Police Department currently lists the case as an open, unsolved missing person investigation.

Does anyone have memories of Charles, where he lived or worked, or information about his disappearance that could help investigators or family?
