Huntsville, Alabama – Family of Missing Realtor Raises Reward Amid Ongoing Search
The family of Ronald Dumas Jr., a 37-year-old realtor who went missing from Huntsville, Alabama, on December 15, has increased the reward for any information that may lead to his whereabouts. The family is now offering $3,500 in hopes of prompting anyone with knowledge of his case to come forward.
Dumas was last seen leaving for an appointment on the evening of December 15. Concern grew when his roommate notified family members the following morning that he had not returned home. The family filed a missing person report with the Huntsville Police Department on December 17, marking the beginning of extensive efforts to locate him.
On December 21, over a week after he was last seen, Dumas’s cell phone was tracked to an area in Memphis, Tennessee, over 200 miles away from Huntsville. Surveillance footage captured Dumas entering a liquor store with two unidentified women shortly before he disappeared, which raises further questions surrounding the circumstances of his vanishing.
Investigations and Arrests
In February, law enforcement officials indicated that there was evidence of foul play in Dumas’s case. As a result, five individuals were arrested in connection to his disappearance in April. Quintarius White and Kierra Clark were charged with aggravated kidnapping, while three others – Dedrick Woodard, Cassy Feathers, and Jasmine Braden – faced charges related to harboring. The suspects are all local to Memphis, where Dumas’s phone was last tracked.
Family Impact and Community Support
Ronald Dumas is a father to three young children, who are currently struggling to cope with their father’s disappearance. In light of the ongoing investigation and their emotional needs, Dumas’s family initiated a GoFundMe campaign aimed at helping provide stability and a sense of normalcy for his children. As of June 3, the campaign has raised $600 towards an $8,000 goal, designated for activities and camps that can offer the children some relief during this difficult period.
The family is appealing not only to the local community in Huntsville but is also seeking assistance from neighboring areas in Alabama, Tennessee, and northern Mississippi. They hope that by expanding their outreach, they may gather crucial information related to Dumas’s whereabouts or circumstances leading to his disappearance.
Call for Information
The Dumas family continues to call for community support and urges anyone with information about Ronald Dumas Jr. to step forward. Individuals with leads are encouraged to contact the Huntsville Police Department or submit anonymous tips to assist in the ongoing investigation.
As the search continues and the police investigation unfolds, the Dumas family remains hopeful for answers and justice, while focusing on providing for Dumas’s children amidst this tragic situation.
