Name: David Ceinon Rees Date of Birth: 6/24/1964 Height: 5'10" Weight: 150 lbs Hair: red Eyes: blue
The victim was reported missing by his step-father on 12/26/81. He had been missing for approximately three weeks before he was reported missing. The victim and a friend (Gregory Mitchell - also a missing person) were allegedly going to unload a truck and haven't been seen since. They were possibly traveling to the North Florida area. The victim had a broken top front tooth. The victim went by the first name of Ceinon.
Name: Gregory Robert Mitchell Date of Birth: 11/15/1965 Height: 5'00" Weight: 95 lbs
Hair: sandy blonde Eyes: blue
The victim was reported missing on 12/15/81 by his mother. The victim was last seen on 11/16/81. He was allegedly going to unload a truck with a friend (David Rees - also a missing person). Neither subjects were seen or heard from again. Mitchell and Rees were possibly traveling to the North Florida area.
 
Please help investigate/look into this if you will. I am dating Ceinon brother and know his family sisters and brothers there had to have been foul play here.
Thank you

I just got done speaking with Dave Wallace of the Polk County Sheriff's office. He browsed over their casefile summary on Gregory Mitchell, and said that their investigative efforts led them to suspect that he and his accomplice were probably murdered in the Florida Panhandle area, and that he was involved in the drug trade.

He also said that his DNA and dentals have been entered in CODIS and NCIC since the mid-80's. I told him that from my recollection, there was no DNA on the decedent, so there would be no CODIS hit regardless of whether it was him or not. I wasn't sure if the decedent's dentals were in NCIC, but he said if they were, there would have been a NCIC hit on dentals.

He did not have any vital stats info on his summary sheet to verify which height and weight info was correct.

As for photos, they have none in the case file. I said that I checked with the Winter Haven High School Library and he wasn't in the yearbooks. He said that this doesn't surprise him, as he was a known juvenile delinquent from a young age, and probably didn't go to school. (you're right, carbuff!!).

All in all, if their investigative info is correct, this is probably not our guy. But I have no way of knowing how reliable their info is that leads them to believe that he and David Rees were probably murdered in the Florida panhandle.

If Sgt. Hildebrand wants to look further into this though to be 100% certain, they can contact Dave Wallace of the Polk County Sheriff's office. (863) 298-6200 x 1233.

Mel1024:

I know that your focus is on David Rees since you know his family -- but would you be able to get any photos of Greg Mitchell? I am unable to find any photos of him anywhere.
