Austin James Wise has not been heard from by that family member since early that morning. He is described as a white man with brown hair and hazel eyes, 5 feet, 5 inches tall and weighing 115 pounds. He was last seen wearing a white T-shirt, blue jeans and white shoes.

The Sheriff's Office said Wise is on parole and has not reported as scheduled. No arrest warrant was issued, but law enforcement officials are checking on his welfare.

"We believe that there is a foul play involved. However, the people that I've seen him [with] are not speaking," Cowart said. "His mother wants him home. You know she's a grieving mother right now who doesn't know anything about where her son is at. He has an aunt that's looking for him, plenty of family that's been looking for him."

It says that he owed someone money. Doesn't look well at all. Sad!

Glad he doesn't already have a failure to appear on top of whatever he's dealing with.

Does anyone know if he's just absconding? What's he on parole for?

He was only failure to appear because he was missing.

Details of Disappearance​

Wise was last seen in the early morning hours of May 28, 2017, after staying the night at a place in the 3900 block of Griffin Road in Waycross, Georgia. He left that residence, apparently alone, at about 6:00 a.m. and called a family member to come pick him up. By the time the family member arrived, though, Wise was gone. He has never been heard from again.
At the time of his disappearance, Wise was on parole; he reported to his parole officer as he was supposed to. His mother stated he owed money to an acquaintance, and she theorizes his disappearance was connected to the debt.
Wise's family believes he may have met with foul play. Little information is available in his case.

"I just want to know where he is at," Launa Hall said. "I know something has happened to him."

Austin Wise was 24 years old at the time of his disappearance.

"I have a million questions with no answers," Hall, his mother, said.

The questions begin the morning of May 27, 2017. Investigators say Austin was at a friend's home on Griffin Road in Waycross around 7 a.m. and he tried calling his mother who didn't answer because she was at work. He then called his father, reportedly saying he needed a ride, but when his father got Griffin Road, Austin was nowhere to be found.

"That was the house on Griffin Road they were outside and he ends up walking off from there," Ware County Sheriff's Office Capt. Melissa Thrift said.

Capt. Thrift is now the lead on the case, she took us out to the area on Griffin Road where Austin was last seen. She said Austin and his friend visited the friend's uncle nearby that night.

"They would go over to his camper and then they had been back over to the home on Griffin Road," she explained.

She said investigators were told there was an argument and Austin walked off into the woods, but a search of the area turned up nothing.
