DELAWARE, OH (MARION COUNTY NOW)—The Delaware Police Department is providing an update regarding the ongoing investigation into the disappearance of Trenton Rollins, reported missing in March 2025.
Mr. Rollins left his Delaware residence in the early morning hours of Sunday, March 16, 2025, and was believed to be driving a blue BMW 430i, Ohio license plate KOR-6295.
