Mr. Way went missing in March of 2002 and was last seen at 1940 Fisher Rd SE. In 2011, Atlanta police detectives determined that Mr. Way had been kidnapped from in front of 2280 Kerry Drive in southeast Atlanta. After the kidnapping, he was driven to an undisclosed location and killed. From there, Way's body was buried in a wooded area near the Old South Bend Historic Cemetery on Forest Park Road in southeast Atlanta. Investigators have identified between 10 and 13 people they believe were involved in the man's slaying. The area near the cemetery was searched, but Mr. Way's remains were not found. No one has been charged with his murder; his case remains open.
