Prince George's Police Find Missing Landover Man Dereck Robbins Safe

Prince George’s County police located 69-year-old Dereck Robbins safe on March 6, the department announced on its PGPD News blog. The post, headlined "Missing Man Found," contained the single update: "Update 3/6/26: Mr. Robbins has been safely located."

Robbins had been reported missing after he was last seen at about 11:30 a.m. on March 5 in the 2000 block of Ray Leonard Road in Landover, according to earlier department alerts captured on social media and community forums. A Facebook alert posted by the department read, "MISSING: 69-year-old Dereck Robbins. Last seen on 3/05/26 at approx 11:30 am in the 2000 block of Ray Leonard Road. He is 5'6 & 180lbs."

Local reposting on the So. Md News Feeds forum carried the department’s appeal and added descriptive details used in the initial outreach: "The Prince George’s County Police Department is seeking the public’s assistance in finding a missing man. He is identified as 69-year-old Dereck Robbins. Mr. Robbins was last seen on March 5, 2026, at approximately 11:30 am in the 2000 block of Ray Leonard Road in Landover." The same forum capture described Robbins’ appearance as "approximately 5'6" tall and 180 pounds" and said he "was last seen wearing Redskins jacket and black pants." The forum repost also listed the department’s Missing Persons Section contact: 301-772-8970.

An Instagram fragment in the captured material referenced the Prince George's County Police Department Homicide Unit detectives in relation to the missing-person post, indicating the alert circulated across multiple PGPD channels. The department’s March 6 blog update did not include additional operational details in the captured entry, and the initial media summary provided to researchers ended abruptly with the words, "PGPD or," indicating an incomplete capture of any expanded statement.

The sequence — a March 5 social-media alert followed by a terse March 6 blog update that Robbins was found — highlights how quickly missing-person information moves through official channels and neighborhood feeds in Prince George’s County. For older adults such as Robbins, age 69, those rapid alerts can mobilize community searches and agency resources; the captured posts do not say whether Robbins required medical attention or whether investigators will release further information.

Prince George’s County Police Department’s public blog entry showing "No comments:" metadata marks the official close of this alert in the department’s public record for now. Anyone with follow-up questions or related information is still directed in the initial repost to contact the PGPD Missing Persons Section at 301-772-8970.
