Valdosta: The Disappearance Of Derrick "Tank" Evans, Jr.

Valdosta: The Disappearance Of Derrick "Tank" Evans, Jr.

Author: The Fall Line® January 22, 2025 Duration: 42:39

In November of 2020, Derrick "Tank" Evans, Jr. disappeared, in the middle of the day, from his Valdosta, GA apartment—in the middle of what his family describes as vital treatment for cancer. 

We are resharing this October 2023 episode  to highlight Derrick's disappearance and his mother, Tamara's difficulty in attracting attention and support —and she needs the support of our listeners to get his story out to a larger audience. Please, follow her FB page and share his missing-persons poster, and request that the Valdosta media feature Derrick's story.

 If you don't want to reach out to the police, you can contact Tamara at Jackson72t@gmail.com, or reach out to us at falllinepodcast@gmail.com. We will get your tips to the authorities. Or, call Valdoasta Police Department at 229-293-3145.

2025  All Rights Reserved The Fall Line® Podcast


In the crowded landscape of true crime, The Fall Line: True Crime distinguishes itself by focusing intently on the cases that have slipped through the cracks. This investigative podcast, produced by The Fall Line®, dedicates its episodes to cold cases, unsolved murders, and missing persons who haven't received the sustained attention they deserve. The work goes beyond simply recounting facts; it involves deep, often years-long dives into the specifics of unsolved homicides, disappearances, and the stories of unidentified John and Jane Does. You'll hear directly from the people closest to these investigations-law enforcement officers who worked the original details, forensic experts explaining the science, dedicated victim advocates, and, most importantly, the families still living with the unresolved loss. Each season is built on meticulous research and interviews that piece together not only what might have happened, but also the complex reasons why answers remain elusive. The narrative is driven by a commitment to thoroughness and respect, aiming to bring new clarity to long-forgotten files. By listening to this podcast, you become part of a process that seeks to restore names to the nameless and pursue justice for the overlooked, all through careful, persistent storytelling that treats every case with the gravity it has always warranted.
