The Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office has issued an alert for a missing 24-year-old man, Dawson Brandon Lee, who was last seen by his mother early Tuesday morning. Authorities are now conducting a widespread search after his vehicle was discovered abandoned in Elbert County.
Disappearance Details
Dawson Brandon Lee’s mysterious disappearance has prompted local law enforcement to seek the public’s help. Lee was reported missing on Wednesday, just a day after he was last seen at his home in Milledgeville.
