Dale Leary was 21 when he was last seen by relatives at a family member’s home in the area of the 4200 block of Carvers Bay Road in Hemingway, South Carolina. The last confirmed contact was September 1, 1999. He is described as a Black male, 5 feet 6 inches, about 160 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes, a previously fractured nose, and a tattoo of his last name Leary on his upper arm.

After September 1, 1999 the trail goes cold. There was a possible sighting in Georgia in October 1999, but it did not lead to confirmation. Months later his gray 1999 Oldsmobile Alero coupe was recovered at an apartment complex in Daytona Beach, Florida, roughly 400 miles from Hemingway. He is classified as an endangered missing person and has not been heard from since.

If anyone has memories of seeing Dale, his Alero, or has information about his movements in South Carolina, Georgia, or Daytona Beach in 1999, please share what you know.
