Date: January 20, 2024

The desperate search for Augusta hairstylist Demon Parrish took a new turn Friday with a wanted flyer for Caleb White.

Caleb “Honcho” White, 21, is wanted for questioning regarding the disappearance of Parrish, who was reported missing on Jan. 10. White is known to frequent the 1200 block of Augusta Avenue and the 200 block of East Telfair Street, authorities said.

White currently has an active felony warrant for theft by receiving stolen property. It’s unclear whether the theft is for Parrish’s vehicle, which was reportedly found around Antioch Baptist Church.

The well-known hairdresser and content creator disappeared in a case that has bewildered the area and led to viral posts across the country. There continued to be no sign of Parrish as missing-persons flyers offered a $10,000 reward for help in solving the mystery.

What we know: 

• Parrish, 31, was last seen on Mill Street and was last active on social media on Jan. 9. 

• Family members organized a search last Friday around Antioich Baptist Church at Augusta Aveue and Florence Street.

• On Monday, an emotional prayer and candlelight vigil was held in Augusta to seek answers on his whereabouts. Quatisha McCain, pastor of Truth Church of Augusta, told WJBF, that Parrish was loved by the entire community. “We have a mother right here who wants to lay eyes on her son, she deserves to lay eyes on her son, so praying tonight for answers we’re asking God to touch the heart of the people who knows where he is because someone knows where he is,” McCain said. 

Any information on the location of Caleb White, please contact Inv. Sean Morrow or any Violent Crimes Investigator at the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office: (706) 432-5281 or (706) 821-1080. Callers may remain anonymous.”
