Charles Childree, known as Charlie, was 66 when he disappeared from Arguta, about 10 miles north of Ozark, Alabama. He was last seen in his yard on County Road 15 on July 21, 2015. A man of routine, he walked a roughly ten-mile route each day collecting cans and visiting neighbors; on the day he vanished he was wearing blue jeans and a button-up flannel shirt. He had a mental handicap and other medical conditions.

Investigators have faced persistent challenges: Childree had no cell phone or bank account, and repeated searches of the wide area he frequented — including patrols, K-9 teams, investigators and helicopters — have produced no significant leads. The Dale County Sheriff’s Office continues the active investigation while the family, who have pursued their own inquiries, remains without answers.

Does anyone in the Arguta or Ozark area recall seeing Charlie around July 21, 2015, or have information about where he may have walked that day?
