In the fall of 2014, the life of Reginald Jermaine Short took an unexpected and concerning turn. On November 3rd, while helping his mother and older brother move into a new home in the 200 block of 12th Avenue in Phenix City, Alabama, an unfortunate accident occurred. During the move, Mr. Short either fell or had items fall on him, resulting in a significant bump on his head. Immediately following the incident, he began shaking as if he was having a seizure.
In the aftermath, he appeared disoriented at times, yet he steadfastly refused any suggestions to seek medical attention for his injury. This head injury and his subsequent behavior became a point of grave concern for his family in the days that followed.
Two days after the incident, on November 5, 2014, Reginald Short, also known to friends and family as Reggie, walked out of his new residence and vanished. He left the door to the home open and has not been seen or heard from by his loved ones since. At the time of his disappearance, he was 39 years old. He was last seen wearing either a red or gray Alabama T-shirt, black or blue jeans, and white sneakers. Mr. Short is a Black male, standing at 5'9' and weighing around 150 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes, and a distinctive scar on the side of his right eye. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance are particularly troubling to his family and law enforcement due to his recent head injury.
The investigation into Reginald Short's whereabouts has remained active, handled by the Phenix City Police Department. A significant concern in the case is the possibility that Mr. Short may be suffering from memory loss or amnesia as a result of the head trauma he sustained just before he went missing. This could potentially leave him unable to recall his own identity or how to return home. His mother has expressed the heartbreaking possibility that he may be living unhoused. The case is a distressing situation where a man, following a notable medical event, disappeared without a trace. The overview of the case centers on the abrupt departure of Reginald Short from his home following a head injury that may have left him disoriented and with memory loss, leading to a prolonged and unresolved search.Last Seen: Nov 5, 2014
