Stacey Lynch, 19 at the time, disappeared from Talladega, Alabama, over the winter holidays in 2020. One account says he was last seen December 22 leaving his home at the Knoxville Homes Apartments; another places him December 23 at his grandmother’s house saying he was going to meet someone. He is a Black male with black hair, brown eyes, listed between 5 feet 2 inches and 5 feet 7 inches, about 130 pounds, with multiple tattoos including on his face, neck, forearm, and an image of a gun on his abdomen.

Family members say it was highly uncharacteristic for Lynch to cut contact, especially with his young children, and he did not return for Christmas or New Year’s. Investigators later found a burned-out vehicle in a neighboring county that they believe is connected and obtained nearby video footage; specifics have not been released. The Talladega Police Department has conducted interviews, searches, and reviewed surveillance footage but reports no significant leads. Rewards offered through Central Alabama CrimeStoppers rose from $1,000 to $2,500.

Anyone who knew Stacey, saw him around December 22–23, 2020, or has information about the burned vehicle is asked to contact the Talladega Police Department.
