Snips ...
My personal opinion is someone knows where Charles is, and we have to stay positive and prayerful, Patrick Parker, brother of the missing 25-year-old man from Monroe, said Monday afternoon
Authorities consider the disappearance to be suspicious, and Parker has not been spotted since the afternoon of Jan. 15, when a business partner says Parker dropped him off at his home in Northern Clarke County.
Patrick Parker said he never met his brothers supposed business partner, though his brother frequently spoke about him, he said.
Authorities have not said if the Athens business partner was suspected in Parkers disappearance, and the mans brother said he didnt know enough to make a determination.
Authorities have only the Athens mans word that he last saw Parker between 4 and 4:30 p.m. Jan. 15 and no independent witnesses to corroborate that the missing man even was in Athens that day.
He left church for Athens, where he was supposed to pick up a friend and meet with a third person about the possibility of buying investment property in Madison County, authorities and family members said.
The two brothers are extremely close and normally speak at least a couple of times a day, according to Patrick Parker, who said his brother would have confided in him if he had any personal problems.
There was nothing he felt he couldnt deal with, and thats that makes this so strange and out of the ordinary, Patrick Parker said.
