Jerry Wayne Dailey II, 42, known as Jay or Red, vanished from Bessemer, Alabama after being seen on November 13, 2013, in front of a home on 17th Street North. He had withdrawn a large sum of cash that day intending to buy a car and planned to meet a cousin who could not get away from work. Jerry took his cell phone but, it’s believed, not his essential medications for seizures, a mental illness, and recovery from a prior heart attack.

At the time he disappeared he was wearing a plaid lumberjack-style jacket, dark shirt, blue jeans and a black knit hat. He is described as a white male, red hair, blue eyes, 6 feet tall and between 130 and 180 pounds. A few days after his disappearance a friend, William Lee Worley, was arrested for attempting to use Jerry’s credit card at a local store; Worley served six months on the illegal possession charge but was not charged in connection with Jerry’s disappearance.

Jerry’s family fears foul play and the case has gone cold. If anyone saw Jerry on or after November 13, 2013, or has information about the credit card use, please come forward.
