Way was last seen in the 1900 block of southeast Fisher Road in Atlanta, Georgia on March 25, 2002. He has never been heard from again. He left behind four children as well as three older siblings. In 2011, investigators announced they believed Way had been kidnapped and murdered and they had identified ten to thirteen suspects in his presumed death. They think his body was buried in the woods near a local cemetery. No arrests have been made in Way's case, however. His mother died in 2010, eight years after his disappearance. His case remains unsolved.
