The record

Reginald Jermaine Short was 39 when he disappeared, according to an open missing-person record in the U.S. Department of Justice’s NamUs database. The record does not provide a date of last contact or a disappearance location in the supplied material. 1

NamUs states that two days before Short disappeared, he was moving to a new residence with his brother and mother. During the move, he accidentally fell and appeared to have a seizure. He seemed disoriented afterward but declined medical attention, according to the record. 1

Short later left the home, leaving the door open, and did not return, NamUs says. His family had not heard from him. The database notes that he may have experienced memory loss or amnesia. 1

The Phenix City Police Department is listed as the primary investigating agency. NamUs case MP35098 remains open and unresolved in the supplied record. 1

A second supplied source was an AL.com article concerning a Phenix City police search, but its contents could not be retrieved and therefore could not be used to verify or expand the account. 2
