This week’s featured missing person is Demetrius Jermain Elder, a 21-year-old man who disappeared from Dallas, Texas on September 25, 1997. He reportedly disappeared with a friend, Demerick Walker, but I’m not sure if Walker was ever reported missing; I know nothing more about that person.
It looks like foul play, and robbery is a possible motive: Elder’s safety deposit box in his apartment was found empty after his disappearance. He’d recently gotten a five-figure legal settlement, but I’m not sure if the money was in the box, in the bank, or what.
If still alive, Demetrius Elder would be 44 today.
