Family, Volunteers Search for Missing Teen

Posted: 3:31 pm EST November 10, 2007Updated: 4:24 pm EST November 10, 2007

Friends and family spent the day Saturday searching for 18-year-old Justin Gaines. The teen was last seen on November 1 at Wild Bill's nightclub in Gwinnett County.

Searchers fanned out on both sides of Interstate 85 near the nightclub, but reported little progress in the search for Gaines. Family members have started a reward fund for information which might help in locating him. So far, the reward stands at $2,000. To add to that fund or for more information, call 770 822 4556

Friends of the victim stated that he has false identification in the name of Brad Allen and Brad Shewe. Justin is described as being 5"11' and 210 lbs with a muscular build. He has blue eyes and brown hair with a short buzz cut. Both of his ears are pierced with diamond studs. He was last seen wearing a long sleeve, gray shirt with "Abercrombie" written on the front, blue jeans with holes and flip flops.

Investigators have started attempts to track Justin's cell phone and obtain any relevant video from the area that he was last seen. Anyone who has information on Justin's whereabouts or if anyone has seen Justin is strongly encouraged to call the Gwinnett County Police Department at 770-513-5300.

There will be a prayer vigil for Justin on Sunday (11/11/07) at 9am at Grace Fellowship Church (http://www.gracefellowshipchurch.com/), 1400 Dogwood Rd., Snellville.
