Police report: Missing CDC employee was ‘upset’ about promotion

A police report about the disappearance of CDC employee Timothy Cunningham offers some new information about what was going on in his life before he went missing.
He has been missing since Feb. 12. Cunningham, 35, reportedly told his employer, the CDC, that he was sick. When his mother did not hear from him, she drove from Maryland to to his home in Atlanta. She found his vehicle, wallet and phone at the house. He also left his beloved dog alone, according to various news reports.
His mother told officers that her son did not have a history of mental health issues and it was uncommon for him to not contact his family.
“[His mother] advised that Mr. Cunningham was upset about a promotion at work and she was concerned about his behavior,” the police report says.
Fox 5 Atlanta reported that Cunningham had been recently promoted to Commander under the U.S. Health Service Corps.
Cunningham is 6 feet tall and weighs 200 pounds. He has black hair and brown eyes.
The Atlanta Police Department says the family has partnered with Crime Stoppers to offer a $10,000 reward for information about Cunningham’s whereabouts.
“We urge anyone with any information on the whereabouts of Mr. Cunningham to contact police,” a press release from APD says. “Information can be submitted anonymously to the Crime Stoppers Atlanta tip line at 404-577-TIPS (8477) or online at www.crimestoppersatlanta.org. Persons do not have to give their name or any identifying information to be eligible for the reward.”
