Missing person: 28-year-old Marcus Reed, plaid shirt
Description
I’m Priya Patel, and I’m trying to find my friend Marcus Reed. He was last seen yesterday around 6pm near the Florence Farmers Market on Court Street, walking toward Riverfront Park off Broadway Street. He’s about 5'10" with a slim build, short black hair, and a neatly trimmed beard. He was wearing a red plaid shirt over a white tee, dark jeans, and brown sneakers with white soles. He has a small crescent tattoo on his inner left wrist and a silver hoop in his left ear; he was carrying a black backpack with a football logo. I’m really worried—any sightings or tips would mean a lot, please reach me via email.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
