Mother still searching for answers four years after son disappears in Houston County
Dustin Randy Wallace was last seen in 2021, and investigators are offering a reward for information.
HOUSTON COUNTY, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – More than four years after a Houston County man was reported missing, his mother says she is still searching for answers and hoping someone will come forward with information about what happened to her son.
Dustin Randy Wallace was reported missing on September 3, 2021. According to the Houston County Sheriff’s Office, he was last seen about a month earlier near General Courtney Hodges Boulevard in Perry.
However, his mother says the last location from his phone showed Feagin Mill Road. She added that on the day he went missing, he was supposed to call her.
“He said, ‘Mama, I’ll call you, and I’m going to check on you and see how you are doing and let you know I’m fine,'” Connie Wallace said. “I’m like, ‘OK, son, I’ll be waiting.'”
She says that call never came, and neither have the answers she’s been looking for.
According to Wallace, the case has been given to multiple investigators, and every time she tries to get updates, they haven’t been able to give her any new information.
“Why? I need answers,” she said. “You keep telling me you are going to do this and that. I never get nothing. I go down there, I don’t get nothing.”
Wallace said she feels like investigators didn’t do anything to help find her son when he went missing four years ago.
“He never got a search team, never from day one,” Wallace said.
She says all she wants is to be able to give her son a proper burial.
“Give me that for Christmas,” she said. “Just give me that for Christmas. That’s all I want.”
Wallace believes someone knows what happened and hopes they will step forward and do the right thing.
She also hopes the Houston County Sheriff’s Office will follow through on her request from the beginning by using cadaver dogs to help locate her son.
Sheriff Moulton with the Houston County Sheriff’s Office said investigators are working hard to provide her and her family answers about where Dustin may be or what happened to him.
Earlier this month, the sheriff’s office posted an update bulletin that said the Houston County Sheriff’s Office and Houston County District Attorney’s Office are offering a $15,000 reward for information leading to an arrest in Wallace’s disappearance.
