Here are the top five stories in and around Douglasville today:

Christopher Evan Tarr was last seen traveling by foot in Temple on Jun. 22, 2022. His mother is now asking authorities for help in finding him, as it has been almost a month since his disappearance. If you have any information about the whereabouts of Tarr, please contact Investigator Kim Biggs. (FOX 5 Atlanta)
2. Tomorrow night, catch Purple Madness at the O'Neal Plaza as a part of the Wednesday Wind Down Concert Series.
