Sara, sorry to hear about your agony. Was he seen at the Bluff driving or stopped somewhere? Where in Maryland is his former residence? Would he have gone straight up Rt. 15 to Culpeper, then up Rt. 29 to Maryland. There seem to be a lot of missing folks lately from this area, all for varied reasons. R.I.P.: Screaming Lord Sutch

Alot of people are looking for him, nonstop. How I know this? He is my grandfather, and I know all about this. All his children and sister and brother in-laws are always there looking for him or his truck for hours non-stop everyday. Also the police are looking too. I also heard that there was a helicopter flying around, but still no luck. I hope he is found soon.

This man is still missing. Why is no one covering this story? Also, according to his wife, he left his home to go get a newspaper and never came back. Is anyone even looking for him?!?!
