Main circumstances: Frank Dwayne Carter reportedly left the group home where he was living in Anchorage on July 6, 2025, and did not return. His disappearance was subsequently reported to authorities, and the Anchorage Police Department opened a missing-person investigation. Publicly available case information does not explain where Carter intended to go, whether he was expected to return that day, or what happened after he left the residence.

Frank Dwayne Carter Disappeared After Leaving an Anchorage Group Home

Frank Dwayne Carter was 44 years old when he disappeared from Anchorage, Alaska, during the summer of 2025.

According to publicly available missing-person information, Carter was last seen on July 6, 2025. The circumstances published in connection with his case state that Carter left his group home and did not return.

There is little publicly released information describing what happened during the hours immediately before or after Carter disappeared. No publicly available source located for this article identifies a confirmed destination, person he planned to meet, or verified sighting after he left the group home.

His Disappearance Was Reported Later in July

Although Carter was last seen on July 6, Crime Solvers Central’s case information lists an agency report date of July 21, 2025.

The Anchorage Police Department is identified as the primary investigating law-enforcement agency, with agency case number 250022230.

The difference between Carter’s July 6 last-seen date and the July 21 agency report date is notable, but the publicly available information reviewed does not explain the reason for that interval. It should therefore not be interpreted as evidence of suspicious activity by itself.

Description of Frank Carter

Carter is described as an American Indian/Alaska Native man, approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall and 200 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He was 44 when he disappeared.

These identifying characteristics may be particularly important because a person’s appearance can change significantly after an extended period of time.

NamUs Case Established for Frank Carter

Carter’s disappearance is recorded with the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System under NamUs case MP149572. NamUs is a U.S. Department of Justice-supported national system used for missing, unidentified and unclaimed-person cases.

Crime Solvers Central also maintains a public case page for Carter. Its case record identifies Anchorage Police as the primary agency and lists Carter’s police case number as 250022230.

Latest Publicly Available Information

As of August 20, 2026, searches of publicly accessible sources located no reliable announcement stating that Frank Dwayne Carter had been found or that his missing-person case had been closed.

His NamUs record remains publicly accessible as MP149572, while Crime Solvers Central continues to categorize Carter as missing. The Crime Solvers Central record shows a last-update date of December 4, 2025.

That does not necessarily mean investigators have had no developments since December 2025. Law-enforcement agencies frequently withhold investigative information, and the absence of a public update should not be interpreted as proof that no investigative work has occurred.

In May 2026, the Anchorage Police Department announced a new missing-person resource focused on missing-person investigations and Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons. APD stated that people do not need to wait to report someone missing and encouraged anyone with information about a missing person or suspicious activity to contact the department.

Questions That Remain Unanswered

The central unanswered question remains what happened to Frank Carter after he left his Anchorage group home on July 6, 2025.

Public records reviewed for this article do not establish where he went after leaving, how he traveled, whether he was carrying a phone or other belongings, whether surveillance footage captured his movements, or whether investigators have developed confirmed sightings after July 6.

There also has been no publicly verified information located identifying foul play, an accident, or a voluntary disappearance as the explanation for Carter’s absence. Until evidence establishes otherwise, those possibilities should not be presented as facts.

How to Provide Information

Anyone who has information concerning Frank Dwayne Carter’s whereabouts or remembers seeing him in Anchorage around July 6, 2025, can contact the Anchorage Police Department.

When providing information, callers can reference APD case 250022230 and NamUs MP149572.

Even information that initially appears insignificant could potentially help investigators establish Carter’s movements after he left his group home.
