DOUGHERTY COUNTY, Ga. (WTXL) - A toddler who was reported missing during a deadly storm in Dougherty County two years ago still hasn't been found.

Detrez Green vanished when an EF 3 tornado struck his family's mobile home park on January 22, 2017.

Crews searched for five days after the tornado, WALB reports, but the search turned up nothing. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation and Ashburn Police Department confirmed to WALB that they searched the home Detrez’s parents lived in nine days after the storm.

Two years later, a public picture has not been released of Detrez. 

A family member tells WALB  that there were pictures of Detrez on a cellphone, but says that cellphone got lost during the storm.

Anyone with information about the disappearance of Detrez Green is asked to contact Dougherty County Police at 229-430-6600.
