The record

Denton Nathaniel Hill was 24 when he disappeared, according to an open missing-person record maintained by the U.S. Department of Justice’s NamUs database. The record identifies the Sumiton Police Department as the primary investigating agency 1.

NamUs states that Hill was last seen at a shed across from his grandmother’s house and that foul play is suspected. The supplied record does not provide a date of last contact or a location 1.

A second listed source, a January 2020 AL.com article whose headline describes Hill as a Walker County father missing for two years and “presumed dead,” could not be retrieved for review 2. Those headline assertions therefore could not be independently assessed from the supplied material.

NamUs lists case MP81860 as open and unresolved 1.
