Missing Since: 2010-08-11 Location: Memphis, Tennessee
Settles was last seen at Aureen Manor Apartments at Chelsea and Tunica Streets in Memphis, Tennessee on August 11, 2010. He called his girlfriend, sounding upset, saying he needed her key to get into their house so he could get some people their money. According to a neighbor, a man named “Bookie” picked up Settles. Bookie had a gun and seemed angry. After Settles got into the car, a burgundy Toyota Camry with the Tennessee license plate number 338-YKW, they drove off quickly. Settles has never been heard from again. After his disappearance, his family received tips that he’d been murdered and his body fed to hogs. He disappeared on the day his girlfriend was giving birth to his third daughter, and his family says it’s uncharacteristic of him not to contact his children. Foul play is suspected in his case, which remains unsolved.
