Alan Lee Morse was 19 and home in Austell, Georgia, on temporary leave from his Navy air traffic controller duties in Bermuda when he disappeared in October 1989. He told his mother he would be back by Christmas, but never arrived at the base as scheduled. That same night the family learned he had not reported in; the Navy listed him AWOL after investigators found conflicting statements about who would drive him to the airport.

A friend later told a private investigator that he had driven Alan to a local bus station after leaving his parents’ house, which is the last confirmed sighting. Early efforts to report him missing met with reluctance because he was an adult and believed to have considered deserting; the Cobb County Police Department did not file an official missing person report until 2007. The Navy later told the family Alan would not be prosecuted if he returned.

Does anyone have information about Alan’s movements after he was seen at the bus station or remember seeing him in Cobb County in October 1989?
