On April 1, 2016, William Paul Faries, a 36-year-old man known for his nomadic lifestyle, vanished from Cedarhurst, New York. Despite his history of transient living, this disappearance was unprecedented in its duration and lack of communication. William, who often traveled by bicycle and carried his belongings in a backpack, was last seen in the area without his usual means of contact—a cell phone. His absence has left a void in the lives of those who knew him and a mystery that remains unsolved.
William's lifestyle was unconventional; he was known to be highly intelligent and extremely computer savvy. Despite his technological prowess, he chose to live without a cell phone, relying instead on face-to-face interactions and his bicycle for transportation. His preference for a minimalist and nomadic existence made him a unique figure in his community. Friends and family were accustomed to his sporadic absences, but his prolonged disappearance raised immediate concerns.
According to available reports, William was last seen in Cedarhurst, NY, on April 1, 2016. At the time, he was wearing gray pants and a gray sweatshirt. There were no indications of distress or plans to leave the area for an extended period. His sudden and unexplained absence prompted those close to him to report him missing, initiating an investigation that has yet to yield answers.
The case of William Faries has garnered attention on various platforms, including the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs), where his case number is MP66386. Despite the public availability of his case details, including his physical description—6'0" to 6'1" in height, weighing between 180 to 200 lbs, with brown hair and blue eyes—there have been no significant leads. Online communities and forums have discussed his disappearance, but no concrete information has emerged to explain his vanishing.

He was a criminal, an abuser, likely who didn't want to face justice of his actions and took his own life because he could not face the consequences of what he did. The victims have told the family his crimes, with evidence. The family knows he was arrested and convicted of possession of CSAM. They know who and what he was. And they're all so equally sick they live in comfort that the victims don't want to retraumatize themselves over everything he put them through. Dont support this families sick parade of using a monster to get sympathy. He was never ashamed of who he was. He loudly boasted his crimes and justified them. The family shouldn't sit there and pretend, how far from reality are they to sit and post this man publicly on news outlets, websites, knowing who he is. Do they need attention that badly? They don't want the attention from the truth. The victims will never get justice. Do not pray for him o
