Elijah Lee McReynolds, 34, was last seen in Springfield, Missouri, on July 28, 2019. He is described as a white male with brown hair and hazel eyes, 6 feet 1 inch tall and about 175 pounds. Initial reports left his whereabouts unclear, but investigators later received information suggesting he may have been the victim of an unreported homicide in Springfield in July 2019 and that his body was moved to another location.

That tip prompted searches in areas including the Mark Twain National Forest and an expanded investigation that identified several persons of interest. Police say a search of a rented U-Haul turned up McReynolds’s blood, and arrests were made in the months after the disappearance. Elijah’s body has not been recovered and the case is being treated as a homicide while he remains missing.

If anyone saw Elijah in late July 2019, noticed a U-Haul or unusual activity in Springfield, or has information about his disappearance, please come forward to investigators.
