It was supposed to be just another normal Thursday morning in the quiet town of Lavonia. Alaun Trimier, a local guy everyone knows and loves, stepped out for a bit. He ended up at the local Bojangles, a familiar spot where folks grab breakfast and catch up. No one around realized that this ordinary fast-food run would be the last time anyone saw him. By the time the afternoon rolled around, a deep worry began to set in for his loved ones.
Alaun did not make it back home that day. As the hours ticked by, his family knew in their gut that something was seriously wrong. This was not like him at all. They immediately started reaching out to friends and looking everywhere they could think of. The local community quickly learned that a young man had seemingly vanished into thin air.
To the people closest to him, he is not just a name on a police report. Most folks call him by his affectionate nickname, “Pie.” He is the kind of person who stands out in a crowd, especially with his distinct hairstyle. When he disappeared, he was sporting black and dirty blonde twists. His family is now hoping someone remembers seeing those twists on Thursday morning.
When Pie left the Bojangles, he was behind the wheel of his own vehicle. He was driving a maroon 2017 Kia Forte. It is a common car, but the family is begging anyone on the roads to keep an eye out for it. Every single passing maroon sedan could be the clue that breaks this case wide open.
The mystery took a massive, scary turn when a digital trail popped up. Investigators managed to track a signal from his vehicle. The car last pinged all the way down in the metro Atlanta area. That is a long drive from Lavonia, and it raises a lot of terrifying questions about how and why he ended up there.
With no clear answers in sight, the family did the only thing they could do. They officially filed a missing person report with the local authorities. Right now, law enforcement officers are actively investigating every single lead they can get their hands on. They are treating this with the absolute highest priority to bring Pie back safe.
The clock is ticking, and the family is completely heartbroken but refusing to give up hope. They are asking the public to look closely at his photo and remember his car. If you have any information at all, please do the right thing. Reach out immediately to Sgt. Kim Gulley with the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office or contact the Franklin County dispatch right away.
