Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP2470) and 6 other sources
Phillip Pinnock, a 15-year-old boy from Dallas, Texas, was last seen on August 17, 2005. Authorities have classified his case as an endangered runaway. Phillip was described as 5'6" tall, weighing around 130 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. At the time of his disappearance, he was wearing a navy blue shirt, jeans, and white sneakers. He has distinguishing features, including a gap between his top front teeth and a pierced ear.

Although Phillip is believed to have left on his own, his case remains unresolved nearly two decades later. He may still be in the Dallas area, though there has been no confirmed sighting since the day he vanished. Due to the length of time since his disappearance, authorities have released age-progressed images to aid in his identification. As of the last updates, he would be in his mid-thirties.

The case continues to garner attention from organizations like the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the Dallas Police Department, though few new details have emerged. Despite the assumption that he left voluntarily, the circumstances around his departure remain unclear. Community efforts persist to keep his case in the public eye, with hopes that someone with information will come forward.
