MOULTRIE, Ga. — Dorothy Graham said she’s about to go crazy. Her daughter, Courtney, has been missing for more than two months.

The Moultrie Police Department sent out a notice asking for the public’s help on Oct. 20, but there’s been no update on her location since.

Courtney, 31, was last seen 8 a.m. on Oct. 7 by Dorothy Graham at their house located at 1114 Sixth Avenue N.W. She was seen wearing “overall shorts” and “a shirt of unknown description,” and she has reddish or blonde colored hair shaved on the sides. She’s five feet tall and weighs 120 pounds, according to her mother.

Dorothy filed a report on Oct. 16 saying her daughter, also known as “Pee Wee,” had left for work the morning she went missing. Her belongings remain at the Sixth Avenue residence. 

She’d also checked with Courtney’s friends before filing the report but was told “no one had seen her in about a week.” Dorothy told police this and that Courtney was a “street girl.”

In an updated report on Oct. 17, Dorothy said Courtney “is still out there using drugs, but it is uncommon for her not to reach out.” The longest they’ve gone without contact before was two days.

According to Dorothy, the only things she’s heard since then have been rumors. Some say she’s dead while others detail a story of her disappearance.

MPD Capt. Freddie Williams said police are still actively investigating.

“We’ve worked and worked and exhausted every lead we have,” he said.
