A Georgia community is gripped by fear and heartbreak following the sudden and mysterious disappearance of 23-year-old college student Alexis Carter.
Reports monitored by ShineMyCrown.Com reveal Carter vanished after reportedly taking a wrong turn on her way home from work last Friday.
Authorities say Carter’s abandoned car was discovered still running on a remote dirt road, with her cell phone and purse left inside—a chilling scene that has triggered an intensive search and growing fears of foul play.
New developments confirmed Tuesday, May 20, reveal that surveillance footage captured Alexis at a gas station just 15 minutes before her car was found.
Investigators have since released grainy images of a “person of interest” seen in the vicinity of her vehicle shortly after her disappearance.
“This is now being investigated as a potential criminal matter,” a spokesperson for the sheriff’s department said, according to Hits On Fye. “Every available resource is being used to find Alexis.”
The unsettling case has shaken the town, where Carter, known for her bright personality and academic drive, was pursuing her degree at a local college.
Community members have organized search teams and vigils, holding onto hope that she will be found safe.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the authorities immediately.
As the search continues, Alexis Carter’s disappearance is a sobering reminder of how quickly an ordinary trip home can turn into a family’s worst nightmare.
