Elderly 'mountain man' missing since July in Rabun County
Vaughan Callenback, 77, was last seen by his daughter, Joanie Callenback Knight, at her home in Franklin County, North Carolina, on July 4.
A northeast Georgia man has been missing since July 5, according to his family.
Vaughan Callenback, 77, was last seen by his daughter, Joanie Callenback Knight, at her home in Franklin County, North Carolina, on July 4. The very last known time he was seen was on July 5 at United Community Bank in Clayton, where he deposited a check his daughter had given him, according to NowHabersham.com.
Callenback's truck was found two days later off Old Coleman River Road. The Rabun County Sheriff's Office reportedly had the truck towed from the scene. It appears the deputy who found the truck believed it had been abandoned. The deputy called the number associated with the registered owner's name but did not receive an answer.
On July 13, a missing persons report was filed after the family realized they had not seen Callenback in almost a week.

According to Knight, her father is a typical "mountain man" who keeps to himself and lives a "simple, humble life" with his dogs and chickens. He also enjoys fishing. Knight says her father does not have a cell phone and does not have dementia. She also mentioned that he has "never just walked away." However, he does have high blood pressure and suffered a heart attack a few years ago.
Knight describes her father as 5-feet-7-inches tall, weighing approximately 160 pounds, with "piercing" blue eyes. She is asking anyone who has seen her father to call 911 or contact the Rabun County Sheriff's Office.
