Family offers $50,000 reward to find loved one

JACKSON COUNTY, Ga. — The family of a young man who disappeared nearly four year ago, is pleading for help to find him and is offering a $50,000 reward.

Josh Adams' sisters told Channel 2’s Tom Regan there was video from a couple of places where he was last seen.

The video shows Adams at a gas station and at a bank, where he'd cashed a check from his parents.

But since that day, he's been gone without a trace.

“Not knowing is the worst part, having no clue what could have happened to him. Where's he's at? If he's lying in a ditch. That's the worst part,” sister Sabrina Parker told Regan.

Parker and her sister Shannon Adams are bound in heartache and despair over the disappearance of their beloved brother Josh.

The young man vanished in May 2013. His car was found near a rural property the family owns, but there were no sign of Josh.

“Money was still in his wallet. His cellphone was there,” Shannon Adams said.

Stranger still, Josh's shoes were placed neatly on the ground near a pond on the property. The family drained the pond only to find it empty.

“I think there was foul play involved for sure,” Shannon Adams told Regan. “Somebody know something. Somebody did something with Josh. He didn't just vanish.”

The sister told Regan that Josh had recently completed rehab for a drug addiction. He was trying to get his life back on track and had no enemies that his sister knew of.

“He was just the biggest heart, just the sweetest guy. Just got along with everyone, sociable,” Parker said.

The sisters say Josh was last seen at a gas station and a bank.

“He was cashing one of my parents’ checks for $400," Shannon Adams said.

The money was not found with Josh’s belongings. Shannon Adams told Regan her brother was very close to her daughter Ava.

“She'll say, ‘Momma, is Josh alive? Is he going to come home?’ I don't know what to tell her,” Shannon Adams said.

The family has set up a Facebook page and established a $50,000 reward, hoping it will bring Josh home.

"We need closure. We need someone to come forward,” Parker told Regan.

The Jackson County Sheriff's Office is actively pursuing the case and has assigned extra resources to the case.
