The Mysterious Disappearance of Randolph David

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO)- A Cleveland man has been missing for three years, and police are asking for the public’s help to find him.

Randolph David was 66 years old when he vanished from his home on West 117th Street on September 29, 2021. He would be 69 today.

“He just kind of walked away from his house never to be seen again,” said Detective Kevin Callahan, Missing Person’s Liaison for the Cleveland Police Department.

David suffered from mental illness and relied on his family for support.

“They control his social security benefits, so they were giving him a weekly allowance,” Callahan said.

Police say something just doesn’t add up about David’s disappearance.

“If someone might recognize him in the public, from that area is really what I’m looking for,” Callahan said.

At the time of his disappearance, David weighed about 140 pounds and had grey hair and brown eyes.

Anyone with information about David’s whereabouts is asked to call Cleveland Police at 216-623-5000.

You can also remain anonymous and possibly claim a reward by calling Crime Stoppers at 216-252-7463.
