TROUP COUNTY, Ga. — It’s been more than seven years since Carol Evans vanished from Troup County and investigators still don’t know what happened to her.
Evans, a retired teacher, suffers from Alzheimer’s and Troup County deputies believe she walked away from her home on Nov. 10, 2017 and never came back.
But crews haven’t given up hope.

Earlier this week, sheriff’s office investigators returned to Evans’ property to search it once again. They used heavy machinery and a cadaver dog on a small, swamp-like area of an adjacent property.
Despite spending two days searching the area, Evans’ remains still have not been found.

“Alzheimer’s is a bad disease. It just confuses people completely,” her husband, Bill Evans, told Channel 2 Action News after her disappearance. “She says, ‘Have you ever considered marriage?’ I said, ‘Yeah Carol, I married you 52 years ago,’ so I got out some of the wedding pictures and showed her that kind of stuff.”
He said he wished he had hired a caretaker for his wife, but she was adamant that she didn’t want a babysitter.
The case remains open and the sheriff’s office says anyone with information that could assist them should contact them at 706-883-1616.
