He misses East Point, Georgia- about 80 miles north of Macon. But when Alyssa was sitting in her office in downtown Macon, he learned about his history after a call to the TIP line of the Crimestopper.

It was Damian's aunt Phyllis Moody.

“She wanted someone to listen,” said Alyssa, “she wanted someone to be quiet and did what had to be done with it. And not in an rude way or in a disgusting way, but in broken, desperate way.”

Alyssa heard her. While calls are always anonymous at Crimestopplers, Damian's aunt wanted to be known because she had no tip. She needed help.

“When the call ended, I started researching,” said Alyssa.

The East Point Police Department is located outside the Macon Regional Crimestopper Network, but Alyssa called it. She shared all the information she collected from Phyllis Moody. Details that the aunt believed to lead a guided tour after six years.

“You took it and opened the case again after it did not attract attention for six years. A traction. No evidence,” said Alyssa.

Then Alyssa went one step further. Design a flyer for missing person and share it on the Crimestopper's platforms. She then turned to a news channel in Atlanta. Connection of reporters with phyllis.
