Three Months Missing: The Ongoing Search for Dwane Scott

Vanished Without a Trace in Reading

Missing person in Utah. On the cold evening of February 13, 2025, Dwane Scott left his home in Reading, Pennsylvania. He walked near the 900 block of Summit Chase Drive and disappeared. He never came back. His family waited, called, searched — nothing. On February 15, they contacted the police. Since that day, no one has seen him. The community, police, and loved ones are still looking for answers.

Who Is Dwane Scott?

Dwane is a 59-year-old Black man. He stands 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighs around 200 pounds. When last seen, he wore a gray coat. Those who know him describe him as calm and polite. He often kept to himself but was always respectful. In recent months, his family noticed he sometimes appeared confused or forgetful. That detail makes this case more urgent. Dwane may be disoriented and unable to ask for help.

An Endangered Man

The police consider Dwane to be “at special risk of harm or injury.” This means he might not know where he is or how to return home. He might not even remember his name. If someone saw him on the street, they might think he was just another passerby. But every moment he remains missing increases the danger.

Family’s Search Continues

His family hasn’t stopped looking. Every morning, his sister calls local hospitals and shelters. His nephew prints flyers and tapes them to bus stops. They’ve walked miles, talked to neighbors, and spoken to anyone who might’ve seen him. They’ve asked for help from churches, gas stations, and even delivery drivers. Every lead so far has gone nowhere.

Still, they refuse to give up. “He didn’t just vanish,” says his cousin. “Someone knows something. Someone saw something.”

The Community Reacts

Neighbors in Reading have also joined the search. Volunteers have helped distribute flyers. A few churches have prayed for his safe return. But as weeks turned into months, public attention faded. His photo stopped appearing in news feeds. That silence makes the family’s pain even worse.

“We just want to know he’s alive,” says his sister. “Even if he doesn’t remember us, we want him safe.”

What You Can Do

Police are urging everyone in the area to remain alert. If you saw Dwane — or think you did — call 911. Even a small detail could matter. Did you notice someone confused or lost near a bus stop? Did someone matching his description ask for help? Don’t ignore your instincts.

For tips or information, call the Reading Police Department at 610-655-6116. You can remain anonymous if needed.

This Case Needs Attention

Three months is too long. Dwane deserves to be found. His family deserves peace. And the community must stay involved. With your help, this story can still end with hope.

Don’t let Dwane’s case be forgotten. Share his photo. Speak up. Pay attention. Someone, somewhere, knows the truth. Let’s bring him home.
