COLUMBUS, Ga. (WTVM) - Police and the daughter of a missing Columbus man are asking for the community’s help to bring him home. Columbus Police say 51-year-old Forest Preston, known as Clay, has not been heard from in several months.

Police say Clay Preston is 5′10′ and weighs 150 lbs. He has blue eyes and sandy blonde hair. Police say Preston walks with a limp and has a scar behind his right ear. He usually wears a baseball cap.

“How could somebody just up and vanish? Nobody deserves to go through this,” said Annah Preston, Clay Preston’s daughter.

Adding two images of that location. Maybe someone could confirm that I highlighted the correct area, just to be 100% sure. I went from 8000 Warm Springs Road to 8999 Warm Spring Roads according to Google Maps.

Hi All,

I am looking for any help in finding my father who has been missing since January 2021 according to sources. I have reported him missing in June 2021 and since have been assigned to 3 different detectives. I have interviewed with the podcast called "The Vanished" and they have asked for more people to be interviewed such as: family members, close friends, coworkers, etc. Unfortunately, his closest sibling, his sister (my aunt) passed away a few weeks ago and now I am the only one pursuing this. I created a Facebook Page called "Help Me Find My Father (Missing Father Clay Preston)" Link: Log into Facebook

I have received tons of information and pieced together details that I would like to share. I have timelines, screenshots, voice recordings and a list of questions that I have given to the detectives with no answers. He is also listed on the GBI and NAMUS websites. Please help. I am his only daughter and I know that something terrible has happened to him. Somebody somewhere knows SOMETHING!
