Disappearance

At the time of her disappearance, Yvonne Covington lived in Centre, Alabama and worked at The Children’s Palace in Fort Payne.

On December 26, 2020, Covington was visiting her son in Fort Payne when she left his home in his vehicle. She told him she was going out to buy cigarettes, but never returned.

The vehicle was found later that night by the National Park Service at the Little River falls parking lot, on the Cherokee County side of the bridge on Alabama Highway 35. Her cell phone was also inside the car.

Her family reported her missing to the Fort Payne Police Department on December 27, 2020.

Law enforcement, with the help of canine teams and aerial units, have searched Little River Canyon National Preserve multiple times, but have found no further clues as to her whereabouts.

Yvonne was hospitalized for five days at Gadsen Regional Medical Center prior to going missing, and her husband, Quazzi Covington, says he fears she might harm herself.

After she was released from the hospital she said she wanted to stay with her son in Fort Payne for awhile. 

It’s unclear if Covington left on her own free will.
