A Mysterious Disappearance

Ayinde Hopeton Dooley, a 43-year-old African American man, was reported missing from Roseville, California, on January 1, 2023. Standing at 6 feet 3 inches and weighing approximately 195 pounds, Dooley's absence has left a void in the community and among his loved ones. His case is documented in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System under case number MP144254. 

Years of Silence

Prior to his disappearance, Dooley had not been in contact with his family for approximately five years. This prolonged period of silence raises concerns about his well-being and the circumstances leading up to his disappearance. The lack of communication has made it challenging for investigators to trace his recent activities or establish a timeline of events. 

Last Known Whereabouts

Dooley was last known to be residing in the Roseville area. However, specific details about his daily routines, acquaintances, or places he frequented remain scarce. This lack of information hampers efforts to locate him or understand the context of his disappearance.

The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office is leading the investigation into Dooley's disappearance. Detective Steven Abelia, assigned to the Crimes Against Persons unit, is the case owner. The agency's case number for this investigation is 2025-35741. Despite ongoing efforts, there have been no significant leads or developments reported publicly since Dooley was last seen. ...Read More
