Toddler still missing years after tornado

ALBANY, Ga. — A boy remains missing five years after he vanished during a southwest Georgia tornado.

Detrez Green was 2 years old when his parents reported him missing on Jan. 22, 2017, after a tornado hit Dougherty County.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation says it is still looking for Green, who would be 7 today, and still occasionally receives tips, WALB-TV reported.

“We don’t want to say we’re looking for a person in the past tense,” GBI agent Marko Jones said. “We’re still actively looking for him.”

Green’s parents, Kevian Green and Adaijah Rainey, told emergency workers they couldn’t find him after a tornado with winds of 150 mph hit their mobile home. They said they last saw Detrez Green as a tree fell on their home.

“Any child investigation is difficult, but this one is magnified because we have so little info to go on,” Jones said. “Here, we don’t have anything. We just have a report that the child is missing, and that is it.”
