Missing CDC scientist: What we know now

What we know:

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Tim Cunningham disappeared on Feb. 12 after leaving work early at the CDC office in Chamblee.

Friends said he was feeling sick, so he left work early and said he was going to finish his work from home.

He hasn't been heard from since then.

This is a timeline of events surrounding his disappearance:

9:12 a.m.: Cunningham call his mother. She does not answer and Cunningham does not leave a voicemail.

Date/time unknown: After not hearing from their son, Cunningham's parents ask a family member to use a spare key to check on him at his house. The relative reports back that Cunningham was not home, but his cell phone and car keys were in the house.
