Willie Clayton Reynolds, 69, was last seen by family at his Atley Road home in Montgomery County, Alabama, on the evening of December 19, 2012, and spoken with the next day. It was uncharacteristic for him to be out of touch; he had high blood pressure and Paget’s Disease and needed his medication. Described as a Black male with graying black hair and brown eyes, he was reported between 5 feet 1 inch and 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing 165 to 180 pounds, wearing a blue jacket, white shirt, and blue jeans.

The timeline after December 21 is fragmented. An Auburn police employee reported seeing him with his white 2008 Ford Ranger on Highway 29 that day. Another person said they gave him a ride into Macon County and dropped him at Y-Grocery at U.S. Highway 29 and State Highway 80 East; he was then seen walking west on U.S. Highway 29 toward Tuskegee. His truck was found abandoned and out of gas at Exit 51 on Highway 29 in Auburn on December 24. Possible sightings in Lee County were reported later but none resolved his disappearance.

The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, the Alabama State Bureau of Investigation, and the Lee County Sheriff’s Office investigated, but the circumstances of what happened after he walked away from the grocery store remain unresolved. If anyone knew Willie, saw him that week, or has information about his movements after December 21, please share what is known.
