Byron Elliott Speller was 24 when he was last seen on June 29, 2018, in Augusta, Georgia. He had locked his keys inside his mother’s burgundy Chevrolet Trailblazer at a Kroger on Wrightsboro Road; after a locksmith freed the vehicle, his brother Corey saw Byron leave, presumably heading home. Byron’s last confirmed location was an AM/PM at Gordon Highway and Wheeless Road. He was 6 feet 2 inches, about 180 pounds, and was last seen wearing a white t-shirt, blue jeans, and black boots.

The Trailblazer was later found abandoned at a gas station on Lumpkin Road, reportedly left at a pump for a full day before being reported. The vehicle was unlocked and missing Byron’s keys and wallet. Family search parties and an investigation by the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office followed, including searches near where the vehicle was found and places Byron’s phone last pinged, but no definitive answers have emerged. Byron was the sole parent of two children; their mother had died the year before he vanished.

If anyone has information about Byron’s movements after he left the AM/PM or about the Trailblazer being left at the Lumpkin Road station, please come forward.
