Sharing the link to the 2 year anniversary news story. Booneville man still missing after two years

I remember when I first read about this case when he first went missing.....I always presumed he'd be found quite quickly.

But no.

That makes me sad.

And now it's already been 2 years.

But no.

And now it's already been 2 years.

I presumed the same. They've done so many searches of the area around the car and some surrounding areas. If it'd been a medical issue, overdose, or even drowning, it seems that he would have been located during the searches.
I will never believe he just walked off. He wasn't that kind of "independent" person. He relied a lot on his siblings and stayed in contact with us no matter what was going on in his life. 2 years is way too long to not know and wonder.

I prayer for answers…closure. I can’t imagine not knowing where a missing loved one was.
