Donald Richard Norris was 35 when he was last seen in Gastonia, North Carolina on July 26, 2017. He is described as a white male with brown hair and brown eyes, about five feet nine to five feet ten inches tall.

His family did not report him missing right away; the official report to the Gastonia Police Department was filed years later by his sister, who said she had not heard from him for several years. That delay created a large gap between his last known contact and the start of the formal investigation, and investigators list the case under report number 2023-46773.

Details such as what he was wearing or items he may have had when he disappeared have not been reported, and the case has grown cold with few new leads. If anyone knew Donald, his routines, or where he spent time in Gastonia around July 2017, please share what you remember.
