Law enforcement in Georgia is seeking tips on a missing 44-year-old woman who has not been seen in over 11 years.
According to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, Diane Cassandra Fields was reported missing on November 6, 2014. She was last seen at her home at 204 Celia Drive in East Dublin, on November 4, 2014.
GBI stated that all of Fields’ belongings were left inside her home. Foul play is suspected.
“I want her back and I want her back alive,” her brother, Eddie Fields, told NBC 41.
A neighbor told CBS 13 that she saw Fields on November 4, when she “she came by to buy cigarettes from her.” The cigarettes were reportedly 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.
