After almost 30 years, investigators have reopened the case of Dwayne Martin. He disappeared in December of 1987; his mom last saw him when he was leaving to work at a diner. Foul play is suspected and his disappearance is being investigated as a homicide.

NLRPD reopens 29-year-old cold case
After more than 25 years of dormancy, the case of a missing North Little Rock man is being reopened by police, this time as a homicide.
In 1987, then 23-year-old Dwayne Martin disappeared after telling his mom he was going to work.
She hasn't seen or heard from him since.
He was among friends, or among people he thought to be his friends, she said recalling the events preceding her sons disappearance.
It still hurts just as bad today as it did then.
At the time, police traced Martin's last location to the Shorter Garden Apartment complex in North Little Rock. They say he went there after cashing a $148 paycheck in Sherwood.
When I first looked at this case I was like how nice would it be provide information to this mom, who for 30 years has not known what happened to her son, Dedrick said.
Somebody still cares, she said. It wasn't in vain. We still are looking, we still are seeking, we still are searching and we're going to close this.
