Decemius Strong, 27, of Indianola, Mississippi, was last seen leaving his home at about 7:05 a.m. on January 22, 2022. That same morning hunters reportedly saw him roughly two miles from his residence, reportedly wandering without clothing. Family last saw him before he left and reported him missing between 9:30 and 10:00 a.m. when they realized he was gone.

When last seen by family he was wearing a yellow skull cap, an orange hoodie, a black jacket, blue jeans, and black Timberland boots. His family says he may have had a mental health condition that could affect his judgment, a concern that prompted authorities to issue a Silver Alert and mount a search operation.

Local law enforcement and volunteers searched for several days, but the active search was called off on January 29, 2022. The Sunflower County Sheriff’s Office and the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation continue to list his whereabouts as unknown, and family and friends are appealing for any information.

If anyone saw Decemius on January 22, 2022, or knows anything about where he might be, please come forward with details.
