Marcus Tyrall Weldon Missing in Anchorage, Alaska: What Is Known About His Disappearance

Brief Summary

Last known contact: October 1, 2022
Location: Anchorage, Alaska
Age when missing: 49
NamUs: MP121032
Anchorage Police Department case: 240009543

Marcus Tyrall Weldon has not been in contact with his family since October 2022, when he was living in Anchorage, Alaska. His disappearance is complicated by information from the manager of his former apartment building, who said Weldon had moved out approximately six months earlier, in April 2022, without providing a forwarding address.

Current public records continue to identify Weldon as missing.


Marcus Tyrall Weldon Disappears From Anchorage

Marcus Tyrall Weldon was 49 years old when his family last had contact with him in October 2022. Public case information lists October 1, 2022, as his date of last contact and Anchorage, Alaska, as the location from which he disappeared.

Weldon is described as a Black man who stood approximately 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighed about 280 pounds when he disappeared. He has black hair and brown eyes.

His disappearance presents investigators with an unusual gap in the known timeline. Although relatives reportedly remained in contact with Weldon until October, the manager of the Anchorage building where he had been living reportedly told investigators that Weldon moved out in April 2022. According to the available case information, he did not leave a forwarding address.


The Six-Month Gap Before His Last Family Contact

The apartment information raises one of the most significant unanswered questions in Weldon’s disappearance: where was he living between April and October 2022?

Moving out of an apartment does not itself indicate anything suspicious, and there is no publicly released evidence establishing that a crime occurred. However, the lack of a forwarding address means the residence did not provide investigators with an obvious location from which to reconstruct Weldon’s movements after April.

At the same time, his family’s reported communication with him continued for several months afterward. That means the date Weldon left his apartment and the date he disappeared from contact with loved ones should not be treated as the same event.

Publicly available information does not explain the nature of Weldon’s final communication, who specifically spoke with him, whether it occurred in person or remotely, or whether investigators have independently confirmed his physical location on October 1.


When Was Marcus Weldon Reported Missing?

The available records contain dates that can easily lead to confusion about when this case began.

A current case listing sourced from law-enforcement information gives March 27, 2024, as the Anchorage Police Department report date and identifies APD case 240009543.

Missing People in America created its Weldon case page on April 30, 2024, and also lists Anchorage Police case 240009543.

The Alaska Department of Public Safety’s current missing-person data also lists MARCUS WELDON, Anchorage Police Department case 240009543. That state dataset currently displays the date October 22, 2022, while NamUs-linked case information uses October 1, 2022, as the standardized date of last contact.

Because these records use different types of dates, they should not automatically be interpreted as contradictory sightings. Anyone researching the case should distinguish the reported last-contact date, dates appearing in state records, and the later police-report date.


Current NamUs Record

Marcus Weldon is now listed by the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System as NamUs MP121032. The current NamUs public page shows a creation date of May 7, 2026.

NamUs-linked case information identifies him as Marcus Tyrall Weldon and lists Anchorage, Alaska, with October 1, 2022, as his date of last contact.

The appearance of a 2026 creation date on the current NamUs page should not be interpreted as meaning Weldon disappeared in 2026. Independent case records document that his disappearance dates to 2022 and that the Anchorage Police Department case existed by 2024.


Latest Publicly Available Investigation Information

As of August 19, 2026, Marcus Weldon continues to appear in the Alaska Department of Public Safety’s missing-person data, and his NamUs case MP121032 remains publicly accessible.

Crime Solvers Central, which compiles information from case sources, showed Weldon’s page as most recently updated on August 8, 2026. Its listing continues to identify the Anchorage Police Department as the primary investigating agency and case number 240009543.

Another current case database identifies Weldon’s status as active.

No publicly released information located for this review announces that Weldon has been found, identifies a suspect or person of interest, establishes that foul play occurred, or explains what happened after his family’s final reported contact with him.

Those distinctions are important. The known facts establish an unexplained disappearance; they do not establish a homicide or identify anyone as responsible for Weldon’s disappearance.


What Remains Unknown

Several major questions remain unanswered in publicly accessible records.

Investigators have not publicly explained where Weldon went after leaving his Anchorage apartment in April 2022. It is also unclear where he was physically located during his final communications with relatives, what prompted the eventual missing-person report, or whether investigators have obtained financial, telephone, travel, employment, medical, surveillance, or other records that could document his movements.

There is similarly no publicly reported explanation for why contact with his family stopped.

The gap between Weldon’s departure from his former residence and his final family contact makes information from anyone who interacted with him during spring, summer, or fall 2022 potentially significant.


How the Public Can Help

Anyone who knew Marcus Weldon, communicated with him in 2022, employed him, rented property to him, provided transportation, or remembers seeing him after he left his former Anchorage residence may possess information that helps establish his movements.

Tips should be given directly to law enforcement rather than posted publicly. The Anchorage Police Department lists 907-786-8900 as its main and non-emergency telephone number. APD also maintains a Homicide/Missing Persons/Cold Case function within its Detective Division.

The Alaska Missing Persons Clearinghouse can also be contacted at 907-269-5038.
