The Stafford County Sheriff’s Office is requesting the public’s assistance in helping to locate a missing person. Lance Calvin Buckley was reported missing by his family at 7:49 last night, Tuesday, May 5, 2015.

Lance Buckley was last seen by family members at 8:00am on Tuesday, May 5, 2015 when he was dropped off at the Staffordboro Commuter Lot where he usually “slugs” to Howard University where he is currently enrolled in a PhD program. He was on his way to pick up his “graduation packet” for graduation scheduled for this Saturday. Lance Buckley’s wife received a text message from her husband at approximately 10:16 am yesterday morning from the area of Howard University. The contents of the text indicate that it was from Lance Buckley. However, Lance Buckley did not show up for a scheduled meeting at 12:00 noon yesterday at the University and his family has had no contact with him since the 10:16 am text. It is out of character for Lance Buckley to not keep in contact with his family during the day.

Lance Buckley is described as a 33 year old white male, 5’11, and 150 pounds with brown hair. He was last seen wearing blue jeans, a dark colored t-shirt and gray Converse Chuck Taylor sneakers.

Anyone who has seen Lance Buckley or knows his whereabouts is asked to contact the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office at 540-658-4400, call Crime Solvers at 540-659-2020 (callers may remain anonymous) or TEXT “Stafford” + your tip to CRIMES (274637)
