Kenosha Reynolds is not giving up hope that her father is alive.
—˃Her father, Willie Clayton Reynolds, 69, has been missing since Dec. 20, 2012. Family reported the father and grandfather missing to police on Dec. 23 after family members realized that he hadn’t been in contact with anyone and he wasn’t answering his cell phone.
That isn’t like this doting grandfather.
As the search of Willie Reynolds starts to go cold, his family is asking the public to keep a lookout and call police if they have any information.
“I ask people to pay attention to be on the lookout for him,” Kenosha Reynolds said.” If they see him call -- get him to the hospital. I ask people to pray.”
Willie Reynolds, of Athey Road in Montgomery County, was last seen leaving the Y Grocery near the intersection of U.S. Highway 29 and State Highway 80 East in Macon County on Friday, Dec. 21.
His white Ford Ranger pick up was found out of gas on Highway 29 in Auburn.
After locating the truck, Lee County, Auburn, Montgomery County and state officials spent a week searching the woods near where Willie Reynolds went missing. The command center was set up at Mount Vernon Church in Auburn.
—˃Willie Reynolds suffers from Paiget’s Disease, which police say may be a contributing factor to him going missing. Kenosha Reynolds said the disease can cause her father to become confused, but it has been kept under control with medication.
“It is like he has vanished off the face of the earth,” Kenosha Reynolds.
Through tears, she said she is afraid that her father didn’t go missing on his own. He has three children, three grandchildren and another grandchild on the way that he was excited to meet.
“I don’t believe a human vanishes off the face of the earth,” Kenosha Reynolds said. “My heart tells me that someone did something to him. That is just my feeling. I want to keep hope alive that my dad is alive.”
She said her family is taking the disappearance of her father very hard, and not having him for the holidays was even harder.
“My 5-year-old is just really struggling,” Kenosha Reynolds said. “To her, that is daddy.
“It is just hard,” she continued. “You see someone every day or every other day, and then now you have no trace of them. It is hard. It is hard to sleep at night.”
Kenosha Reynolds said her father visited her children every day or every other day. He would always leave a surprise, usually a piece of fruit, tied to the door of the house for Kenosha’s daughter.
A $5,000 reward is being offered for information that leads to Willie Reynolds being found.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office at 334-832-4980, the Macon County Sheriff Office 334-727-2500 or the Alabama Bureau Investigation.
