Valdosta: The Disappearance Of Derrick “Tank” Evans, Jr.

The Fall Line: True Crime

In November of 2020, Derrick “Tank” Evans, Jr. disappeared, in the middle of the day, from his Valdosta, GA apartment—in the middle of what his family describes as vital treatment for cancer.

We are resharing this October 2023 episode to highlight Derrick’s disappearance and his mother, Tamara’s difficulty in attracting attention and support —and she needs the support of our listeners to get his story out to a larger audience. Please, follow her FB page and share his missing-persons poster, and request that the Valdosta media feature Derrick’s story.

If you don’t want to reach out to the police, you can contact Tamara at [email protected], or reach out to us at [email protected]. We will get your tips to the authorities. Or, call Valdoasta Police Department at 229-293-3145.
