Monroe County Deputies Ask for Help Finding Man Last Seen Near Piedmont Henry Hospital Early Tuesday Morning in Red Kia

MONROE COUNTY, GA — The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office is asking the public to help find 50-year-old Michael Jason Carroll after he was last seen early Tuesday near Piedmont Henry Hospital. Deputies said Carroll’s last known whereabouts were at about 2:41 a.m. on October 20.

Investigators said he was in a red Kia bearing license plate SDY8539. Authorities have not said where Carroll was headed or why he was in the area, but they are treating him as missing and asking for any information that could help locate him.

What deputies say about the last known sighting

The sheriff’s office said the timeline of the case centers on the early-morning sighting near the hospital in Monroe County. That time stamp, 2:41 a.m., is the key detail investigators have shared so far.

Officials have not released additional details about who may have been with Carroll, whether anyone saw him after that point, or whether his vehicle has been recovered. For now, the public alert focuses on building information around that last confirmed location and the car he was driving.

Vehicle description may help witnesses identify him

Deputies said Carroll was connected to a red Kia with the Georgia plate SDY8539. That description gives residents and drivers in the area something specific to look for, especially anyone who may have been traveling near the hospital in the overnight hours.

When law enforcement issues a missing-person notice, vehicle details can be important because they help identify possible sightings, camera footage, or traffic records. The sheriff’s office has not said whether there are surveillance images tied to the case, but it is urging anyone with information to come forward.

How to contact the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office

Anyone with information about Carroll’s location is asked to call the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office at 478-994-7010. Deputies also said people can contact Sergeant Robins directly by email at jrobins@monroecosheriffga.us.

The sheriff’s office said tips can also be shared through its Facebook page, Instagram account, or the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office app. Officials said people may remain anonymous when they use those channels, giving residents a way to pass along information without giving their names.

Why missing-person alerts rely on fast public tips

In cases like this, sheriff’s officials often depend on quick public notice because the earliest hours can produce the most useful leads. A witness may remember the car, notice someone walking nearby, or recognize a person from the hospital area before details fade.

The alert from Monroe County deputies is built around that idea: narrow the search by time, place, and vehicle, then ask the community to help fill in the gaps. So far, authorities have not released any further update on Carroll’s condition or whereabouts.
