Details of Disappearance

Wilson was last seen in Asheville, North Carolina on March 27, 2009. He was staying with his sister and brother-in-law in the 20 block of Wilmington Road at the time, and his brother-in-law was in the hospital. Wilson visited his brother-in-law at the hospital that day and gave him some items from his sister.

When Wilson's sister came home, she found a goodbye note from Wilson. He thanked them for letting him stay with them, said he was going away to go to truck driving school, and promised to be in touch when he got settled.

Wilson never contacted his family again. He had a North Carolina driver's license at the time of his disappearance. Investigators determined he took a Greyhound bus from Memphis, Tennessee to Mexico and then back to Memphis, but his current whereabouts are unknown. Few details are available in his case.
