Quinton Jimmy Walls, 50, was last heard from on Saturday, June 6, 2015, when he spoke with his daughter about meeting at church the next morning. He did not appear at the church and was reported missing the next day. His truck was found the evening of June 7, abandoned near a horse trailer parking lot in the Dawson Forest Wildlife Management Area; initial checks of the vehicle and immediate area reportedly showed no clear signs of foul play.

A large search followed, covering more than a ten-mile radius and including ground crews, K9 units trained in body recovery, a horse-mounted rescue team and searches of the Etowah River banks, but no trace of Walls was found. There was no activity on his cellphone or financial cards after he disappeared, and his family says it was out of character for him to be out of contact that long.

In May 2017 a potential witness said they saw two people leave Walls’ truck around the time he vanished: one described as a Hispanic or Native American male in his early 20s (a forensic sketch was made) and a taller white male with shaggy white hair and a beard; investigators could not confirm whether the second man might have been Walls. Does anyone who knew Quinton or who was in Dawson Forest that weekend have information that could help?
