Johnny Lee Rhodes, a father of seven from Etowah County, Alabama, was last in contact with his family on September 8, 2019, and was reported missing after that. His remains were found in October 2019, and investigators determined he had been shot and brutally beaten.

No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced; the case is classified as a cold case and the circumstances of the murder remain unresolved. Rhodes’s family has continued to seek answers about what happened during the weeks between his last contact and the discovery of his remains.

If anyone knew Johnny, his movements in September 2019, or has information that could help the investigation, please come forward.
