Tyrie Marquis Sanders, 21, was last seen on foot leaving his home in the 29000 block of County Road 2 in Hardaway, Alabama, on the evening of January 20, 2016. He was wearing a white t-shirt, blue sweatpants, and white shoes, and did not tell anyone where he was going. No witnesses reported his direction of travel.

Search teams from multiple agencies combed the rural Macon County terrain of swamps and dense underbrush. Searchers recovered Tyrie’s Nike sneakers about half a mile from his home. His cell phone has shown no activity since the day he disappeared, and he never collected his final paycheck from the Macon County School Board. He is described as a Black male, 5 feet 10 inches, about 124 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes, and a large writing tattoo on the center of his chest.

The disappearance remains open and unresolved. If anyone in Hardaway or the surrounding area remembers seeing Tyrie on January 20, 2016, or has information about his movements, please come forward.
