James Alan White of Dallas has been missing since Oct. 10.
Dallas Police said they are waiting for test results to come back from SWIFS, Southwestern Institute of Forensic Sciences, in the Alan White case. LGBT police liaison officer Chelsea Geist said they’re also waiting on warrants. She said a separate warrant is required for Apple and then for each application on his cell phone.
“It is a very difficult and time-consuming process unfortunately,” she said.
White went missing on Oct. 10. After leaving L.A. Fitness CityPlace, he was caught on video putting gas in his car the the RaceTrac station on Maple at Inwood in Oak Lawn. Cameras caught him leaving the station going north toward his home, but the car was later recovered in South Dallas. There’s been no trace of him since.
Geist said as of now, there are no new leads and no witnesses have come forward, but she encouraged anyone with information to contact the detective on the case, Detective Eric Barnes at 214-283-4818 or by email at eric.barnes@dallascityhall.com. Reference case #188623-2020.

It takes THREE MONTHS? I call bullshit.
A separate warrant for each application on his 1 phone? Excuse,, excuse, excuse!!
I don’t believe they have the phone, which means they are having to request info from the makers of each app on the phone, and that requires a separate warrant to each app developer.
They don’t have the phone. They have to get warrants
Thanks for sharing this info Miss Tina. There are a lot of locals in Dallas still praying for Alan and your family.
Wow, DPD seems to have lost control of the investigation. Clearly, they don’t see this as a murder but as an inconvenience. Is this had been a Black, they would have found the criminals already –
Right? It’s totally ridiculous this case isnt being researched more! Had Alan been a BLM or ANTIFA member he would of gotten more media attention
Racist prick
Guys… I can tell you for certain there are things that are happening in this investigation you are not aware of. It is nice that the police shared this information to let us know that there are some stones that they are still looking to overturn. But I know that there is more than this as well from those close to the investigation. We will learn about some of these efforts and leads in time. As someone closely following this investigation, I am aware of some things not shared here, but I was not aware of the fact that they were still looking to tap into Apple’s records and apps and also that there may be evidence from the SUV (assuming here that is the “crime scene”) that has yet to be processed. That is actually reason to hope, not to be angry. That means that there may yet be a breakthrough in this case that may lead to a viable suspect, to finding Alan White, and arrests.
I am his sister. They aren’t telling us things because they want an open and shut case. We are putting our faith in the Dallas police to solve this. Frustrating to you think about us, his family
Thank you Ms. Huddleston
Can someone say why there have been no public searches, no handing out flyers, no vigils, no social media push/campaign, no Facebook group for Alan? I’ve never seen people care less abut a missing persons case. From what locals have said, no flyers in that area either. Would have been nice to get the LGBT community involved, or Alan’s friends and co-workers, Usually there’s a rush of people to help. I haven’t seen any of this from the beginning.
