Authorities in Georgia are appealing for information about a 44-year-old woman who has been missing for over a decade.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation reports that Diane Cassandra Fields was last seen on November 4, 2014, at her residence located at 204 Celia Drive in East Dublin. She was officially reported missing on November 6, 2014.
The GBI has indicated that all of Fields’ personal effects were left untouched in her home, and they suspect foul play in her disappearance.
“I want her back and I want her back alive,” her brother, Eddie Fields, expressed to NBC 41.
According to CBS 13, a neighbor recalled seeing Fields on November 4 when she “came by to buy cigarettes from her.” The cigarettes were intended for Fields’ boyfriend.
Other residents said Fields had been a quiet neighbor who hardly left home, unless to take a walk around the neighborhood.
Eddie Fields described his sister as “introverted and meticulous.”
Investigators reportedly said that Fields’ boyfriend claimed someone had broken in the home, but evidence didn’t back up the statement.
“The backdoor appeared to be broke, like someone had broke in, but from what I observed, it was broken out,” East Dublin Police Chief, William Leucke, said.
“To our opinion, it would seem this was a staged burglary. Nothing added up. Nothing made sense…It was too neat of a crime scene. I’ve worked thousands of burglaries and this one was too neat.”
Leucke added that investigators did not find a weapon, any blood, and or any evidence of a struggle.
Fields is described as a Black female who stands 5 feet tall and weighs around 200 pounds. She has black hair and brown eyes.
Fields’ boyfriend has been named a person of interest in the case.
Anyone with information is urged contact the Georgia Bureau of Investigation’s Eastman office at 478-374-6988 or the the East Dublin Police Department at (478) 272-6883.
Fields’ case is being covered as part of CrimeOnline’s “Finding the Lost: Black and Missing” series, which will feature a missing Black person every day in February. The full series can be read here.
