Gerald Scott Weathers, 62, of Augusta, Georgia, was last heard from in the early morning hours of February 27, 2024. At about 1:00 AM he texted his significant other saying he would be home shortly; he had been at a property he was caretaking at 2159 Ellis Street, a short walk from his own home in the 2100 block of Ellis Street. He did not own a car and usually walked where he needed to go.

Scott’s brother discovered the back sliding glass door of the property wide open later that day. An electric heater was still running and a 40-ounce bottle of beer sat there with only a small amount consumed. Searches of both his residence and the property produced no sign of him, and security cameras on the properties did not capture useful images. Friends report Scott struggled with alcohol and substance abuse and lived near areas with known drug activity, leaving open concerns about foul play.

If anyone in the Augusta area saw Gerald Scott Weathers around February 27, 2024, or has information about his whereabouts, please come forward.
