Dennis Joe Boyd was 65 when he was last seen around May 5, 2012, in Columbia County, Georgia, near Augusta. A week later his white 2007 Chevrolet Impala was found abandoned off Route 215 near the Blue Ridge Parkway in Transylvania County, North Carolina. Passersby reported the car had sat in the same spot for more than three days, and its contents remained inside.

Searches by Transylvania County deputies, U.S. Forest Service crews, and local firefighters combed the dense Appalachian woods near where the vehicle was located. Boyd was described as very thin with scoliosis, blind in his left eye since childhood, and thought to be wearing walking shorts and possibly a white T‑shirt. The searches produced no sign of him.

The gap between his last known presence in Georgia and the vehicle’s discovery in a remote part of North Carolina remains unexplained. If anyone saw Dennis or his car in early May 2012 or has information about his movements between Georgia and the Blue Ridge Parkway, please share what is known.
