Details of Disappearance

Powell was last seen in the 6300 block of River Road Waynesboro, Georgia at 7:00 p.m. on June 1, 2016. He has never been heard from again. In the early morning hours of June 2, his white 2012 Ford F-350 pickup truck was found abandoned and burned on Wilson Road. There was no sign of him at the scene.

In July 2022, authorities arrested Stacey Lynn Welch and charged her with murder, armed robbery and kidnapping in Powell's case. Later that month, Mitchell Lanell Lambert was arrested and charged with the same offenses.

Photos of Lambert and Welch are posted with this case summary. Little information has been released about the case against them. A third person, Crystal Gail Simmons Mundy, is wanted for questioning in Powell's case.

Powell's family stated they don't believe he would have left his business and all the other things in his life behind. His body has not been found, but foul play is suspected in his case due to the circumstances involved.
