Unforgotten

Join us on the baffling case of 22-year-old George Erick James from Millbrook, AL.  After a turbulent childhood, gang involvement, and time served in prison, George was determined to turn his life around when he abruptly cut ties with his family and then vanished.  Was he running from his criminal past, or did something more sinister happen? Follow along with us as we attempt to shed light on the truth behind George's disappearance. #WhereIsGeorgeErickJames #GeorgeErickJames 

 If you know anything about George's disappearance or whereabouts, please contact Sgt. Garner Clark with the Montgomery Police Department at 334-625-2831

Today, March 24 (or the 23rd for subscribers), marks 20 years since the lives of the Wall and McGee families changed forever. 31-year-old Melinda McGhee left her night job at 8:00 am that day as normal.

Get ready to buckle up, because we have a chilling episode for you today. We're exploring three separate cases from Alabama, each with its own haunting mystery. First up is the tragic case of Joseph Johnson who left his mother's home in Autauga County to go out with friends in 2015. But Joseph never made it back. Instead, his body was discovered on a highway a mile away from his friend’s home, and the details surrounding his death are still shrouded in mystery. Was it a simple accident, or is there something more sinister at play? #JusticeForJosephJohnson 

Next, we turn to the strange disappearance of ShawnDarius Tyus, who vanished without a trace while walking to his father's house in Selma in 2020. Despite leads and suspicions of foul play, he remains missing to this day. #WhereIsShawnDariusTyus 

Finally, we explore the baffling case of Eric Dewayne Blevins who went missing from Selma back in 2005. His last known whereabouts were at a local inn, but his trail goes cold after that. Despite extensive searches and a reward for information, there are still no answers to what happened to Eric. #WhereIsEricBlevins

Join us as we delve into the mysteries surrounding these three cases and try to uncover the truth behind these haunting cases. 

If you have information on any of the cases here today please use the following numbers: Joseph - Alabama Law Enforcement Agency at 334-874-8234, the ALEA Secret Witness Hotline at 334-874-2190, or submit an anonymous tip.  ShawnDarius or Eric - Selma Police Department at 334-874-6611, CrimeStoppers 334-215-7867,  or submit an anonymous tip.

In February of 2023, Georgia officials positively identified remains discovered in Chambers County as 22-year-old Kyle Clinkscales.  Clinkscales and his Pinto Roundabout vanished 47 years ago on a trip from LaGrange, GA, back to Auburn University.  In 2021, Clinkscales' car was discovered in a creek in Chambers County with remains and belongings still inside.

To read more about Kyle's case, see "The Remains of a Son Missing for Nearly 50 Years are Identified," The New York Times 

41-year-old William Charles "Pete" Fikes left his grandmother's Jasper home around 9:00 or 9:30 am on November 29, 1976, in his father's 1972 Plymouth Valiant and was never seen or heard from again.  In the four years after his disappearance, the Fikes' car was located almost an hour away when a Jasper PD happened to stumble upon a forged bill of sale dated one day after Pete was last seen, and dried blood was allegedly found in the car; the upper portion of a human skull was located near a Sipsey dump site that had been previously searched, which state officials later identified as matching Pete; and Perry Mixon, who may have been in jail at the time of Pete's disappearance, was arrested on robbery-murder charges that don't appear to have ever moved forward.

If you have any information regarding William Charles “Pete” Fikes, please call the SBI Crime Hotline at 800.392.8011 or submit an anonymous tip online.

David "Michael" Burney left his Vinemont, AL home on June 29, 2007 to visit his daughters in Georgia. Michael stopped at the Jet-Pep gas station in Battleground, AL. This would his  last known sighting.  In late August of 2007, David's car was located, abandoned in the Bankhead Forest in Winston County, with no sign of him.  15 years later, David Michael Burney's whereabouts remain a mystery. (Please note a correction in this description. Michael's car was found in 2007 as now shown above. It previously said August of 2012. The podcast episode was correct, just a typo here. Also we have learned that he was supposed to be heading to visit his 3 daughters, not 2 as we previously had thought. We've also recently heard from a family member that David Michael Burney went by his middle name, Michael. Apologies to Michael's family for the errors.) #WhereIsDavidMichaelBurney #DavidMichaelBurney

Tabitha Franklin was last seen on August 13. 2009, just 33 days before her 28th birthday.  Reports say she was at a Vinemont home where a few friends or acquaintances were living at the time. At some point, Tabitha called an ex-boyfriend, who claimed he picked Tabitha up and drove to Hueytown, where he dropped her off at his place of employment while he ran errands. He stated when he returned, Tabitha was gone. There are reports claiming Tabitha never made it to Hueytown. Tabitha's family has remained dedicated in their efforts to locate her. Sadly, the search continues. #WhereIsTabithaFranklin #TabithaLynnFranklin

In the early morning hours of May 8, 1999, James "Amp" Reynolds, Lamar Stackhouse, Tamara Ward, Eula Lee, Angela Young, and Valerie McCoy disappeared while driving, presumably, back to Enterprise from The Hideaway Club in Opp.  Four months later, the car the group had been traveling in - a Chevy Caprice owned by Stackhouse - was discovered submerged in Pea River with the remains of 5 of the 6 friends still inside.  Forensic experts could find no evidence that Amp had been in the Caprice and searches of the surrounding area turned up no sign of Amp.  His whereabouts today are still unknown.

If you have any information related to the disappearance of James "Amp" Reynolds, please contact the Alabama State Bureau of Investigation Crime Hotline at 800-392-8011 or submit an anonymous tip online.

This week on Unforgotten:

35-year-old Lisa Wallace was last seen near Chewalla Creek Dr. in Eufala on October 27, 2012.  According to her husband Chris Wallace, he and Lisa had been in an argument that began the night before.  Chris told law enforcement that he left to take their daughter to his mother’s around 1:00 pm and when he returned, Lisa was gone.  Over 10 years later, Lisa’s whereabouts remain unknown and she continues to be listed as an active missing person in the NamUs and ALEA databases. #WhereisLisaWallace

On the evening of December 12, 2017, Kerry Payne expected her 18-year-old son Christian Boyle to show up any time to do laundry like he said he was going to do, but he never didn’t.  Over the couple of weeks, Christian’s family and friends would scour the Cleveland area in Blount County looking for signs of Christian and/or his car.  On Christmas night, thirteen agonizing days later, Kerry received a phone call that a group of people riding ATVs had spotted Christian’s car near Cold Branch Road and that Christian had been found shot to death near his car.  Although they’ve not been named publicly, Blount County Sheriff’s Office has identified two primary suspects, but they say there’s not enough evidence to make an arrest.

Over 5 years later, Christian’s case remains an open investigation with the Attorney General’s Cold Case Unit.  #JusticeforChristianBoyle #WhoKilledChristian
