Shaun Michael Spaulding, 39, was last seen on March 17, 2022, at the Homewood Suites Hotel on New York Avenue NE in Washington, D.C. A resident of Arlington, Virginia, Spaulding had no cell phone or bank activity after that date. Early reports noted a possible sighting by a roommate on March 15, 2022, at his Arlington home, but investigators later confirmed the hotel sighting on March 17 as the last known point.

Spaulding is described as a white male, 5 feet 7 inches, about 145 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He may use the names Conrad or Michael and was possibly wearing blue jeans, a light-colored shirt and grey Hey Dude shoes; he also typically wears a Washington Capitals or Nationals hat. Family members say he used the Grindr app regularly and are concerned a contact from the app could be connected to his disappearance. Spaulding is classified as endangered because he left daily medications behind; his family is offering a $5,000 reward for information. DNA samples from his parents were submitted to the Virginia Department of Forensic Sciences in May 2022 and uploaded to the National DNA Index System.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Arlington County Police tip line. Does anyone have information about Spaulding’s movements in Washington, D.C., or contacts he may have met around March 17, 2022?
