George Robert Strickland stopped communicating with his family in early spring 2020; the last known contact was March 1, 2020, when he was living in Laurens County, South Carolina. No one heard from him for more than a year, and his sister filed an official missing person’s report in June 2021, which prompted an investigation by the Laurens County Sheriff’s Office.

Strickland is described as a white male, about 5 feet 7 inches tall, roughly 185 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. A $500 reward was offered for information, and the case was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System. Online communities have discussed possible links between his disappearance and unidentified remains found elsewhere in the state, but no official connection has been confirmed.

Does anyone in Laurens County or nearby remember seeing George around March 1, 2020, or have information that could help locate him?
