Travis K. Tankersley, 38, disappeared from the rural Sylvania, Georgia area on an August night in 2016. He was last seen between 11:30 p.m. and midnight near 4559 Newington Highway. At the time he was described as a white male, 5 feet 8 inches tall, 140 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes, wearing a coral-colored shirt over a gray shirt, blue jeans, and Georgia brand slip-on boots.

A shirt confirmed to be his was found near a dumpster close to where he was last seen. Extensive searches around Buck Creek Road and Newington Highway involved the Screven County Sheriff’s Office, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, tracking dogs, horseback teams, ATVs, divers and helicopters, but yielded no definitive explanation for his disappearance. Authorities have not officially declared foul play, though the Screven County Sheriff said the circumstances are leaning in that direction. A $4,000 cash reward was offered jointly by the sheriff’s office and the family for information.

Does anyone who lived or traveled near Newington Highway in August 2016 remember seeing Travis or anything unusual that night?
