BIRMINGHAM, Ala ( WIAT ) — It’s been two years since the family of Lee Curtis Vanderbilt has seen or heard from him.
Vanderbilt’s sister, Catrice Cooper, said he disappeared from his home on 31st St. Ensley under suspicious circumstances on July 20, 2022. Cooper said his girlfriend at the time was the last person to see him or hear from him.
“We want to know if he’s still alive. If he’s still alive, if he can be found?” said Cooper. “This is like a nightmare to us. I can’t imagine in a million years it would have happened to us.”
Vanderbilt’s mother, Joe Ann Walton, said they are growing frustrated as they fear investigators and the community have forgotten about his case.

Walton said they are doing what they can to keep his name and face out in the community.
“Something happened to him that he has not come back to our house, around us,” said Walton.
Walton said two years of not seeing or hearing from her son is unusual behavior, which is why they are seeking answers.
