Desmond Santonio Dix was 16 when he was abducted at gunpoint in Atlanta in the winter of 1996. He was sitting in a car with his brother when unknown assailants forced him out in broad daylight; the brother escaped.

The Atlanta Police Department opened the investigation and at one point arrested two suspects who were charged in connection with the abduction, but those charges were later dropped for lack of evidence and the suspects were released. A human skull found in a nearby wooded area in 2009 was at first thought to be Desmond’s, but dental records showed it belonged to a different missing teenager. The case remains unsolved and Desmond has never been found.

Does anyone who lived in Atlanta in winter 1996 remember the abduction or have information about Desmond’s last known movements?
