APD asking public for help in 2012 cold case investigation

The Austin Police Department is asking the public for help as they investigate a cold case involving a man whose family has not heard from him since 2012.

Police say on June 1, 2012, they responded to a missing person call in the 6200 block of Loyola Lane. When officers arrived they made contact with the family of Adrian Demont Washington who was 36 years old at the time.

Washington's parents said they had not heard from him since May 26, 2012 and they indicated that the lack of communication from their son was unusual. The parents told police they had both made efforts to talk to people who knew their son and searched locations where their son spent time but they turned up nothing.

This investigation remains open and ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to reach out. Those who wish to remain anonymous can contact Crime Stoppers at 512-472-TIPS (8477) or use the Crime Stoppers App. Crime Stoppers may offer a reward up to $1,000 for information leading to an arrest.
