The recent efforts to raise awareness about the 22-year-old cold case of Brandon Wade and his mother, Paula Ann Wade, reflect a significant push for new leads in their mysterious disappearance. On October 14, 2002, Paula failed to arrive for work, prompting concerned coworkers to check her apartment, where they discovered her car parked outside but no sign of either her or her son.
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children NCMEC is working with Gas Station TV to display age-progressed images of Paula and Brandon at over 2,800 gas stations in Georgia and Florida.
Mary Ramsbottom, Paula’s sister, emphasizes the ongoing pain of not knowing their whereabouts, urging anyone with information—no matter how small—to come forward anonymously.
This case not only highlights the personal anguish faced by the family but also the broader issue of missing persons and the importance of community involvement in solving such mysteries.
As the search for answers continues, officials hope that raising awareness through public channels will lead to new tips that can help solve the case and bring closure to the Wade family.
