In the spring of 2019, the family of William David Garner, a 56-year-old man from Cumming, Georgia, grew increasingly concerned for his welfare. His brother, Tracy Garner, last spoke to him on April 23, 2019, as he was being taken to Lakeview Medical Center in Peachtree Corners. This would be the last known contact anyone had with William, marking the beginning of a prolonged and distressing period of uncertainty for his loved ones.
The silence that followed this final phone call prompted his family to take action and seek help in finding him.
A week after his last communication with his brother, an investigator discovered that William Garner had been discharged from the medical facility on April 30, 2019. It was reported that upon his release, he had arranged for a taxi to take him to a homeless shelter in Atlanta. However, subsequent checks revealed that William never arrived at the shelter, and there was no record of him ever checking in. This revelation deepened the mystery surrounding his disappearance and intensified the fears of his family, who were acutely aware that he was without his medication, money, or a vehicle.
The Gwinnett County Police Department was officially notified of William's disappearance on May 2, 2019, and they launched an investigation into the matter. Described as a white male, standing approximately 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing around 150 pounds, with brown eyes and gray hair, his description was circulated in the hopes that someone might come forward with information. His family expressed their profound distress, with his brother Tracy stating, “It's upsetting, heartbreaking, not knowing anything…if he's dead or alive.” The case remains a painful and unresolved chapter for his family, a story of a man who seemingly vanished after seeking help, leaving behind a void of unanswered questions.Last Seen: Apr 23, 2019
