Ronald Howard Wilkins, also known as Ron or Ronnie, is listed in public missing-person records as a 57-year-old White/Caucasian man who was last known to be in the Blades, Delaware area on January 1, 2009. NamUs identifies his case as Missing Person / NamUs #MP6950 and lists the date of last contact as January 1, 2009. Public summaries describe Ronald as having last been seen at about 6:00 p.m. walking along railroad tracks behind Pine Street and Cedar Avenue, with the last known witnesses described as a family member and a friend. He has not been reported seen or heard from since that time.
The available public information about Ronald’s disappearance is limited, which makes the case especially difficult for his loved ones and for investigators. A case summary notes that, in September 2010, a family member confirmed to NamUs that Ronald remained missing and had not been seen or heard from since January 2009.
Public case information continues to describe the matter as unresolved, with few additional details released about what may have happened after he was last seen near the railroad tracks.
At the time he disappeared, Ronald was described as approximately 5 feet 4 inches to 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighing about 145 to 150 pounds. He had gray or partially gray hair and brown eyes. Distinguishing features listed in public case information include a pierced ear, scars or marks on his right hand, left palm, and left arm near the wrist, along with five tattoos on both arms; one specifically noted tattoo is a cobra on his right forearm. These details remain important because even small identifying features can help someone recognize him or connect information to the case.
Ronald’s case represents many years of uncertainty for the people who knew and loved him. The public record does not provide a detailed explanation for why he vanished, and there is no publicly cited account in the reviewed sources describing confirmed contact with him after January 2009. Anyone with information about Ronald Howard Wilkins, even something that may seem minor or long past, is asked in public case materials to contact Delaware Crime Stoppers at TIP-3333 or submit a tip through the listed online tip form.Last Seen: Jan 1, 2009
