Joe Chastain Griffith, age 85, has been reported missing from Norman, Oklahoma. He is described as a white male with gray or partly gray hair and hazel eyes, 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing between 120 and 150 pounds. The last confirmed contact with Griffith was April 16, 2025; the disappearance was not reported to police until October 7, 2025, when a concerned person said they had not seen him in several months.

When officers spoke with Griffith’s roommate, the roommate said Joe had gone to live with an unknown family member in Texas. That explanation has not been corroborated. The Norman Police Department opened an investigation under case number 2025-74611, and the case is entered in NamUs as MP154566.

The gap between the last confirmed contact and the late report, plus the unverified claim about a move to Texas, are key unresolved details. If anyone has information about Joe’s whereabouts, contacts, or the alleged family in Texas, please share what is known.
