Linnell Young, 57, vanished from his Eastover, South Carolina, home after the last confirmed contact with his mother on March 28, 2006. She says he was at his residence on Virginia Byrd Road around 5:30 p.m., feeling unwell with flu-like symptoms and planning to lie down. The next morning at about 7:00 a.m. his mother found the front door open, lights on, and Linnell gone.
Young did not own a vehicle, did not report to work, and had not picked up his most recent paycheck, all described as out of character. He is a Black male, 5 feet 5 inches, about 130 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes, and was known to almost always wear a baseball cap. Family, including his sister Paulette Cunningham, say they cannot imagine he had enemies.
No confirmed explanation for his disappearance has been provided. If anyone knew Linnell, his daily routines, or saw him around Eastover in late March 2006, please share what you know.
