Womack was last seen in Alton, Illinois between 1:30 and 2:00 p.m. on March 31, 2008. He didn't make a scheduled appearance in traffic court two days later, and he didn't show up for work at Wal-Mart in Wood River, Illinois. The last call on his cellular phone was transmitted by a phone tower near the former Godfrey speedway in Godfrey, Illinois. The call could have come from anywhere within a twenty-mile radius of the tower. About three weeks after his disappearance, Womack's dark green 2004 Ford F-150 pickup truck was found in a gas station parking lot in the 2900 block of Camp Jackson Road in Cahokia, Illinois. His keys and his daughter's car seat were locked inside. The truck was undamaged and had reportedly been cleaned of any evidence. Womack didn't know anyone in Cahokia and his family can't think of any reason why he would be there. He left behind a fiancee and five young daughters, and his son was born two months after he went missing.
