Caleb Lawson Missing, Chesterfield VA — Search Intensifies for 21-Year-Old Autistic Man Last Seen on Nov. 30
Authorities in Chesterfield County, Virginia, are urgently searching for 21-year-old Caleb Lawson, an autistic adult who has been missing since early Sunday morning, November 30, 2025. Police have classified his disappearance as an endangered missing person case, prompting an expanded search effort and an urgent appeal for public assistance.
According to the Chesterfield County Police Department, Caleb was last seen leaving his home on Tobacco Bay Place on foot. Investigators believe he may have traveled toward the Rivers Bend Boulevard and East Hundred Road area, a region surrounded by busy roadways, businesses, and wooded terrain—factors that present significant challenges for search teams.
Caleb is described as a Black male, approximately 5’6” tall and 108 pounds, and was last seen wearing a peach-colored sweatshirt and blue jeans. Because of his autism and potential difficulty responding to unfamiliar people or stressful environments, authorities urge anyone who may encounter him to approach calmly, patiently, and without sudden movements.
Caleb’s family remains deeply concerned and is pleading for the community’s support as the search continues. Loved ones describe him as gentle and quiet, familiar with the area but easily overwhelmed when approached abruptly.
