On April 27, 2023, 37-year-old Reginald Leroy Ellerbe Jr. was seen for the last time in Portsmouth, Virginia. His day seemed ordinary as he left a residence on Columbus Avenue, with no indication of the worrying silence that would follow. The lack of communication was deeply uncharacteristic for Reginald, a man described as being 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighing around 165 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. His loved ones knew something was wrong when he did not make contact, as he was known to stay in touch with his family. The concern for his well-being intensified when his vehicle, a black 2014 Nissan Maxima, was discovered abandoned the very next day. The car was located on the shoulder of I-264 westbound near the Greenwood Drive exit in Portsmouth, a discovery that offered more questions than answers. Inside the vehicle were his wallet and cell phone, personal items that one would almost certainly have if they were planning to go somewhere. The scene was unsettling, leaving his family to grapple with the sudden and complete void left by his absence. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance remain a painful mystery for his family and the community. Distinctive tattoos on his chest and both arms serve as key identifiers, but there have been no reported sightings. The discovery of his car with essential personal belongings left behind suggests a sudden and unplanned departure, deepening the distress of those who care for him. The case is an ongoing investigation into a man's life that was abruptly interrupted, leaving his family waiting and hoping for answers that will bring an end to their uncertainty.
