William Mark Alley, 33, was last seen the late morning of February 2, 2000, at the Parkway Plaza Shopping Center entrance in Lexington, North Carolina, shortly after leaving his job as director of the Davidson County Museum of Art. He was known by his middle name, Mark. That afternoon he failed to pick up his young child from the babysitter; his wife reported him missing that evening. His vehicle was found parked in the Becks Church Road driveway and a note he left for his wife was recovered, though its contents have not been released.

Earlier that day he had resigned after co-workers confronted him about about $14,750 missing from the museum’s bank accounts. Two weeks later authorities issued an arrest warrant charging him with embezzling the funds, yet personal items, including his checkbook, remained at home. His family has offered a $10,000 reward and says they believe he met with foul play; the investigation has remained open with few leads.

Does anyone have information about Mark Alley’s movements on February 2, 2000, or recall seeing him near Parkway Plaza that morning?
