"Paula and Brandon are not a closed chapter. They are a mother and son who are loved, still matter, and whose absence is deeply felt. October 14 marks 24 years since their disappearance. We will not let their faces and names fade. The search continues, and we will not stop until they are found." — Mary, Paula's sister and Brandon's aunt On Oct. 14, 2002, Paula Ann Wade, 25, and her 3-year-old son, Brandon, disappeared from Valdosta, Georgia. When Paula failed to show up for work, concerned coworkers went to her apartment. Her car was parked outside, but there was no sign of Paula or Brandon. Twenty-four years later, their family is still searching for answers.
