The distance between Columbiana and Calera is about 10.7 miles according to Google Maps. It's been over two weeks. Where could Derek be and why would he leave his car?

Welcome, NaturalIce <modsnip - references removed post>. I found arrest information on drug charges for a person with the same full name but without date of birth can't verify if it is the missing man or not. FindLaw's Court of Appeal of Louisiana case and opinions.

Is it just my imagination or did a lot of posts go poof? Maybe I’m confusing threads but could have sworn there was more chatter about this young man?

Yes, several were removed. Mine said the quoted post was removed. I can’t remember well enough to say what it even was. Maybe we had some erroneous info. jmo

I’m glad they put more pics on the flyer. Thanks for posting it!

 

[StarEyes]

I’ve googled his name and there’s next to no further info besides the initial write up. I’m surprised. He’s been missing 25 days....

It’s a pic from his mom’s fb page, like she took a pic, sonits sort of weird but it’s all we have.

I think those pics are fantastic! Seriously. I get a better picture in my head of how he looks.

Yes. All of my posts were removed because they were considered “insider information”. It’s fine though. At least some people got to read my posts before they were removed.

I thought he’d be found by now, one way or the other. It’s been close to a month. So worrying. Please be somewhere safe, Derek.

 

[Carja7]

No updates on this that I could find. Anyone else able to find anything?

 

[Dre]

Nope, I keep checking and not a word for months

Maybe he was found and no update? Can anyone with a fb check his moms page maybe? TIA!

 

[TatianaBarbie]

@Dre, I checked FB. His mother (or at least the person who claimed to be his mother) had no new information on her FB page. Derek's FB page, which has photos of him with (his?) 2 children:
