Search efforts continued (...) for a two-year-old Georgia boy, believed to be caught up in a tornado that touched down near his home.

According to the boy’s father Kevian Green, Detraz Green was last seen with family members, playing with a toy. Then, the tornado mowed through a wide swatch of Dougherty County, where the family lives.

Trying to do the math here. Wondering if the infant who was only days old during the 2014 possible DV call at the home being searched was Detraz. If so it begs the question does he have a sibling who would now be around 3 or 4?

When it says 'searching their former home,' do they mean the home that was destroyed by a tornado on the night/day he went missing, or a home they had previously lived in? Does LE have questions about when he was last seen? Tornadoes do weird things. His remains could be anywhere.

The father was interviewed at what I believe is their damaged home the other day. The reporters were standing outside the one they are calling the former residence and it appears to have suffered no damage. No downed branches, house looks structurally fine, no debris or litter lying about. No apparent reason for the searched property to be uninhabitable.

Is that a previous house they lived in back in 2014 and not the most recent home that was struck by a storm?

The house the child (supposedly) went missing from was a mobile home.

Previous. The damaged home was a mobile home.

Thanks for the thread and all the helpful info on the home(s). I was also confused as to seeing two homes, mobile park and "previous" home.

This video shows the mobile park destruction. During the search of the area is nearby pond that was drained and dive teams went in. According to the article, "Officials have not been able to obtain a picture of the child."

Subscribing to this thread. What a horrible story. While I don't hold out hope this child is still alive, I pray it was due to a natural disaster. Those tornadoes ravaged the southern part of my state.

Detraz was reported missing from Dougherty County, mobile home park (where the family was living, and tornado caused damage).


I wonder when they moved from the house to the mobile home.

Then the search moved to the former family home on Pine Knot Rd. The home is in Turner County. The home is shown in the accompanying linked video, and some small areas were dug during the search. http://www.wtoc.com/clip/13067657/g-b-i-searched-the-former-home-of-missing-child

The interview with the father really has me concerned....I hope this isn't going to end the way I'm thinking.

I live in the county that butts up to Doughtery Co where the tornado struck. From day one there has been many questions about this little boy being swept away by the tornado. His mother said he was walking around in the kitchen going toward the backdoor. His father however said he was playing with a toy. The police had been to this MHP minutes before the tornado touched down telling everyone to leave or go to a safe space inside of their home. So this family like all of those in the area knew it was coming.

Something hasnt felt right from the very beginning about this story. They waited 6 hours to notify the first responders he was missing when the police and responders were on site shortly after the tornado had passed on.

The police made sure the public knew they had no photos of this missing little boy. They wanted his photo to be published so witnesses would call in saying they had seen this little boy at the MPH. So it seems not his parents, grandparents nor any of his family could produce a photo of him.

Last Friday I went into the hardest hit areas delivering numerous items to churches for the victims and they are continuing to go through the debris field looking for him and there is no sign of him and they have had cadaver dogs on the ground for over a week now.

When the GBI gets involved they only do so if they believe a criminal wrongdoing has occurred.

It is obvious the evidence they have amassed thus far convinces them he did not die in the tornado but they have been unable to locate him anywhere. If they are digging on the property where they use to live in Ashburn they are suspecting foul play is involved.

If they have harmed their little boy this would be a perfect excuse to try and get away with it. Albany and surrounding counties know all too well about tornadoes and the experts on the ground know if he was really in the debris field he would have been found by now. Thousands have come out to search for Detraz.

Thank you so much for the local input, oceanblueeyes. Glad to have you here.

Detraz and his parents lived in Albany/Dougherty County in a MPH when he was reported missing six hours later after the tornado struck Dougherty County. They weren't living in Ashburn at the time. That is why the Dougherty County Police Department is in charge of the investigation and have now asked the GBI to assist in the case. Ashburn is about 35-40 miles from Albany where he was reported missing.

Jan 26 2017
Adijah Rainey, the boy's mother, said that she did not see Detrez "leaving the home or being swept away," emergency management officials told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
"He was playing with a toy the last time I saw him," father Kevian Green told the Associated Press. "I just hope they can find him."

At the Piney Woods mobile home park where the boy lived, there are piles of rubble and smashed cars where homes once stood. Kevian Green said he and his family were huddled together in their home, when the tornado ripped it in half.

“Everything happened at one time, windows busted out, the roof lifted up, the wall fell in. It was rough, it was scary,” said Green.


When it was over, Kevian said his son, Detrez, was missing.
The child's mother, Adijah Rainer, said Detrez slipped away from her right at the storm hit. She said he was last seen walking through the kitchen area towards the back door. Rainer said she did not see the boy leaving the home or being swept away by the storm, but the kitchen area was completely destroyed when a large oak tree fell through it.
“We tried to look for him but we didn’t hear or see anything,” said Green.

JAN 24 2017,

In Dougherty County, Georgia, where four people were killed, authorities said they were still searching for a missing 2-year-old boy, Detrez Green, after he became separated from his parents when a tornado hit their mobile home on Sunday.

"He slipped away from her arms right as the storm hit," Sherrell
Byrd, a spokeswoman for the county's emergency management agency told NBC News, citing the boy's mother's account.

The toddler's mom, Adijah Rainey, said her son was "last seen walking through the kitchen and towards the back door of their mobile home," Byrd said.

Byrd said the family's power was out and they were unable to tell authorities the child was missing until they arrived at a relative's home on Sunday evening.
