Ep 7: Michael Burney & Tabitha Franklin

David "Michael" Burney left his Vinemont, AL home on June 29, 2007 to visit his daughters in Georgia. Michael stopped at the Jet-Pep gas station in Battleground, AL. This would his  last known sighting.  In late August of 2007, David's car was located, abandoned in the Bankhead Forest in Winston County, with no sign of him.  15 years later, David Michael Burney's whereabouts remain a mystery. (Please note a correction in this description. Michael's car was found in 2007 as now shown above. It previously said August of 2012. The podcast episode was correct, just a typo here. Also we have learned that he was supposed to be heading to visit his 3 daughters, not 2 as we previously had thought. We've also recently heard from a family member that David Michael Burney went by his middle name, Michael. Apologies to Michael's family for the errors.) #WhereIsDavidMichaelBurney #DavidMichaelBurney Tabitha Franklin was last seen on August 13. 2009, just 33 days before her 28th birthday.  Reports say she was at a Vinemont home where a few friends or acquaintances were living at the time. At some point, Tabitha called an ex-boyfriend, who claimed he picked Tabitha up and drove to Hueytown, where he dropped her off at his place of employment while he ran errands. He stated when he returned, Tabitha was gone. There are reports claiming Tabitha never made it to Hueytown. Tabitha's family has remained dedicated in their efforts to locate her. Sadly, the search continues. #WhereIsTabithaFranklin #TabithaLynnFranklin https://uncovered.com/cases/david-burney https://uncovered.com/cases/tabitha-franklin https://alcoldcase.com/home/alabama-cases/cullman-county/ If you have any information regarding the cases discussed on this episode, please call: Cullman County Sheriff's Office at (256) 734-0342 or Crimestoppers Metro AL at (205) 254-7777, www.crimestoppersmetroal.com, or text your tip with the word CRIMES to 7777.
