- On December 18, 2018, in Laurinburg, North Carolina, Strickland was last seen getting into a large black SUV (maybe a GMC Yukon Denali). People nearby heard gunshots right before the SUV drove away. He’s been missing ever since.
Police think Strickland is dead. In January 2019, they named four people as suspects and two others as people they wanted to talk to about his disappearance. The police found a burned-out car belonging to one of the suspects in St. Pauls, North Carolina. Important clues were found inside the burned car.
Because of the gunshots and the burned car, police believe Strickland was murdered.
