William Ramey, 62, was last seen in the East Liberty neighborhood of Pittsburgh on July 26, 2016. His brother found a paycheck left behind at William’s home, an uncharacteristic detail that prompted the family to report him missing and raised immediate concern.

Investigators noted that William used multiple aliases and had different reported dates of birth, which complicated efforts to trace him. One theory was that he may have left to move in with a friend whose identity and whereabouts were not known to family, but William never made contact after he disappeared. The Pittsburgh Police Missing Persons Unit circulated his description and details of his last known movements; police reissued an appeal for information in December 2017 after the case remained unresolved.

If anyone who knew William, knew the friend he might have stayed with, or saw him in East Liberty around July 26, 2016, please come forward with information.
