The Ware County Sheriff’s Office says the 24-year old was reported missing from along Griffin Road in Ware County, Georgia, on Monday May 29, and hasn't been seen since.
Deputies say Wise reportedly left a home about 7 a.m. on Sunday, May 28. A family member was scheduled to pick him up but Wise was not there when the relative arrived.
Someone purporting to be his mother wrote, "I have heard no word from my son, totally out of character for him. He is not in any legal trouble so there is no reason for him to be hiding out somewhere."
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is also helping with this case. If you know anything about the whereabouts of Austin Wise, call the Ware County Sheriff’s Office at 912-287-4327.
