Darrell Mack Wells was 31 when he left his parents’ home in Bossier City, Louisiana, in the early morning of December 26, 2001. He told his parents he was going to help some friends and drove off in his red 1982 Chevrolet pickup truck. He has not been seen or heard from since.

On January 1, 2002, Darrell’s truck was found abandoned in the Johnson’s Furniture Store parking lot on Westgate Drive, near the foot of the Shreveport-Barksdale bridge. His wallet was inside the vehicle, but there was no sign of him. Searches, including a helicopter sweep around the Red River, did not locate him and the Bossier City Police Department lists the investigation as active and unsolved.

What details about Darrell’s movements in Bossier City on December 26 might still be remembered by someone who knew him or saw him that day?
