Details of Disappearance
Sayles was last seen in Memphis, Tennessee on December 3, 2019, getting into a red four-door Toyota Camry with temporary license plates. He left his sister's house after dropping off his son there, and has never been heard from again.
After his disappearance, his vehicle was found abandoned in the vicinity of Trezevant and Hunter with the keys in the ignition. His cellular phone was found near the expressway off Jackson. The last phone contact was in the area of Dupont and Beaverbrooks.
It's uncharacteristic of Sayles to leave without warning. He had custody of one of his children and normally took him to school every day. His case remains unsolved.
