Last Seen on March 3rd

According to police, Malachi was last believed to be in the area of Van Vranken Avenue in Schenectady during the early morning hours of March 3, 2026. Since then, there have been no confirmed sightings, and investigators are continuing their efforts to locate him.

Malachi is described as approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing around 200 pounds. At the time he was last seen, he may have been wearing a tan coat with white sleeves.

Vulnerable, May Need Medical Attention

Police say Malachi is considered vulnerable and may be in need of medical attention, as he is believed to have left without his necessary medication, which has heightened concern among authorities and loved ones over time.

Cases like this often rely heavily on public tips, especially when someone may have been seen in passing without people realizing they were missing.

If you have any information that could assist the Schenectady Police Department in locating Malachi Fennicks, you are urged to contact the Schenectady Police Department at 518-630-0911 or their Tips Line at 518-788-6566.
