Bastrop County Father, Missing Since 2014, Fondly Recalled by Family
BASTROP COUNTY, Texas – In a distressing edition of “Missing in Texas,” we delve into the case of Carl Beall, an individual who has been unaccounted for nearly a decade. Now, Carl would have turned 39 years old on August 24 of this year, but his whereabouts remain a mystery.
When Carl disappeared, he was a 30-year-old man. The last known communication occurred in January 2014, with Cedar Creek, Texas, identified as his final known location. Officials involved in the investigation suspect foul play as the circumstances surrounding his disappearance appear suspicious.
At the time of their father’s vanishing, Carl’s daughters, Georgia and Alexis Beall, were just 10 and 8 years old. Presently, they have matured to 19 and 18 years old, respectively, but the loss of their father has left an indelible mark on their lives. The longing for his presence is encapsulated in Alexis’ poignant statement, “We miss him very much.”
Recollecting the memory of her son, Cheryl England, Carl’s mother, fondly speaks of him as a good and caring individual who adored his daughters. She confides, “He was wonderful. He loved his daughters. He’s good with kids.” When reminiscing about their final conversation, Cheryl reveals that Carl had expressed concerns about specific individuals pursuing him. Consequently, her parting words to him were heartfelt cautionary advice: “I love you, and just be careful.”
Georgia, one of Carl’s daughters, vividly recollects her last phone call with her father, portraying a sense of unease laced with desperate urgency. Intrigued by her recollection, Georgia revealed, “He didn’t sound okay, he didn’t sound safe.” Her father’s cryptic response, “I don’t know who you are,” prompted her to reassure him by declaring her identity as Georgia. As their conversation reached an impasse, Georgia perceived her father’s hesitancy, ultimately leading to an abrupt end to their dialogue.
Despite numerous years passing since Carl’s unexplained disappearance, the Bastrop County Sheriff’s Office has received several leads, the last of which dates back to 2019. Regrettably, all leads have been fruitless, accumulating further frustration and heartache for his family. Cheryl poignantly confides, “Just destroys me. If I didn’t have God and my family, I honestly don’t know if I’d be here.”
Year after year, Carl’s loved ones commemorate his birthday by releasing balloons, clinging to cherished memories while hoping for the day they can uncover the truth behind his vanishing. Cheryl discloses that the pain endured since her son’s disappearance has been akin to hell, with fleeting moments of anticipation and disappointment when encountering strangers who resemble Carl.
In tandem with their continued search for answers, Georgia pleads for closure and an end to their torment. Expressing the family’s collective yearning for resolution, she implores anyone who possesses knowledge about Carl’s disappearance to consider the devastating impact their silence has had on their lives. The emotional appeal emphasizes the gravity of the situation, as Cheryl empathetically conveys her willingness to forgive, urging the person responsible to “bring my son home.”
Further emphasizing the family’s desire for comprehension without seeking personal retribution, Amy Hisbrook, Carl’s sister, reveals, “I don’t want to know who you are.” Instead, she implores the responsible party to provide them with the understanding that transcends mere answers. Their longing for solace echoes through the words of Alexis, confessing that they are yearning for the existence of a grave they can visit, as their current situation leaves them bereft of any tangible connection to their beloved father.
As the mystery surrounding Carl Beall’s disappearance persists, the heartfelt pleas from his family reverberate, resembling the resolute beating of steadfast hearts. The emotional turmoil endured throughout the years serves as a poignant reminder of the lasting impact left by a missing loved one.
