Alvin Dale Giddens, 45, was last seen on September 6, 1996, in Marietta, Georgia, according to a friend who reported his disappearance to the Cobb County Police Department. He was described as between five feet ten inches and six feet tall, weighing 210 to 235 pounds, with brown hair and green, sometimes described as droopy, eyes. There was nothing at the time to suggest he planned to leave his life behind, and his lack of contact was out of character.

Investigators later found evidence at Giddens’s residence that they have said points to foul play; specific details of that evidence have not been widely publicized. That development shifted the inquiry from a routine missing person case toward a possible abduction or homicide, but the case remains unsolved.

If anyone knew Alvin, his routines, or saw anything in Marietta around early September 1996 that might help, please share what you remember with the Cobb County Police Department.
