Dwayne Allen Chick, known as Kiddie, was 33 when he vanished from Rustburg, Virginia in the summer of 2005. On July 22 he left his father’s home with a woman he had met online. Three days later, on July 25, he was arrested for public intoxication and shoplifting, jailed briefly and released that same evening. That release is the last confirmed contact anyone has had with him.

Dwayne is described as a white male, about 5 feet 10 inches and 150 pounds, with brown hair, blue eyes, a pierced ear and scars on the left side of his face. Family members say he struggled with alcohol, had recently lost his driver’s license and his job, and required medication for an unspecified medical condition. A diary found by his father described Dwayne feeling in a downward spiral. The woman he was last seen with later told his father they argued and he left her home.

The disappearance remains an endangered missing person case under investigation by the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office and is unsolved. If anyone knew Dwayne, saw him after July 25, 2005, or has information about that summer, please come forward.
