David Brett McAfee has been missing from New Market, TN, since October 28th, 2022. His phone alerted of a crash, but no wreck was reported, and no signs of a crash were found.
David's fiancée reported that he was at home and in bed around 7:15 am when she left for work and that when she returned at 3:45 pm, he was gone. She said she tried to call his phone multiple times, but it seemed to be powered off.
At 6:43 pm, David's fiancée received a text on her phone reporting a crash alert from David's phone. She drove to the area of Jefferson City where the alert reported the crash had happened but she did not see any evidence of an accident.
On October 29th, 2022 Investigators pinged his phone in the Walnut Ave area of Jefferson City.
Approximately one week later, David's phone was found behind Providence Church in the same area where the crash was detected.
Investigators reviewed phone records and interviewed numerous people. They have reason to suspect that foul play is a factor in the disappearance of David McAfee.
If you have any information that could help locate him or solve his case, this is your sign to speak up, so please call Detective Sgt. Jonathan Owens (865) 471-6000 ext 1106.
