Aaron Cody Fortner was last seen at his camper, which was parked near his family's residence in the 100 block of Fox Trace Road in Sylva, North Carolina at 2:30 a.m. on February 21, 2022. He had been acting strangely, as if he was scared, and had made several calls to his grandparents, saying he didn't know where he was and that people were looking for him. When his sister went to the camper to check on him he was gone.

The only item that disappeared with him was his phone, and since his disappearance there's been no activity on the phone. His case remains unsolved.
