Hilary Hayes, a 27-year-old Black man from Bastrop, Louisiana, was last seen in his hometown on September 17, 1994, and has not been heard from since. At the time he went missing he was described as 5 feet 6 inches tall, about 140 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.

The Bastrop Police Department has been handling the investigation. The case was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System in December 2009. The investigation is ongoing but the trail has gone cold, and Hilary’s family continues to seek answers.

If anyone in Bastrop around September 1994 remembers Hilary, his routine, or has information that might help, please come forward.
