    Details of Disappearance

    Foreman was last seen in Clarke County, Alabama on September 15, 2006. He has never been heard from again. Foreman was self-employed as an auto mechanic at the time of his disappearance, and was well-known in the local area. He lived in a mobile home with an elderly man whom he helped care for, and also worked out of his home. Neighbors would bring their cars to his residence for repair.

    Authorities discovered potential evidence in Foreman's case during a search in June 2007 and sent it to a crime lab for analysis. Details about the nature of the evidence have not been released. Foul play is suspected in Foreman's case, as it is uncharacteristic of him to leave without warning. He was in a fight with some other individuals a few days before he went missing, but it is unclear whether the altercation had anything to do with his later disappearance. Foreman has an arrest record for crimes such as petty theft and failure to pay child support. None of his arrests were for violent offenses and he is not known to be an aggressive man.

    Many accounts stated Foreman was last seen getting into a brown pickup truck with two Caucasian males. Investigators have specifically denied that this occurred. His case remains unsolved.
