There's another photo on his NamUs profile. It would be great if someone could post it here. I'll get red x's.

Foul play is suspected in Timmy's case which makes me very worried about Timmy. Where are you Timmy?

Although this photo was in the The Charley Project photos (TY @CastlesBurning), I thought this one had nice resolution, especially if you go to the Namus link and tap on "Images."

Escambia County Sheriff continues following leads in Ernest Finklea disappearance
Friday, October 11th 2019

Snipped
His disappearance reached a turning point Thursday when his family said someone called them saying Finklea’s body was on Miller Street. That’s an area his family said he would frequent.

His family and friends gathered outside the Dorrie Miller Community Center to demand answers in his disappearance and to get law enforcement to search the area. After calling ECSO, deputies arrived and took the report of the cryptic phone call. Tensions escalated after a man the family suspects had something to do with Finklea’s disappearance arrived on the scene to speak to investigators. ECSO called in several deputies to briefly close off Miller Street to calm down the crowd. After things calmed down ECSO called in Escambia Search and Rescue (ESAR) and KlaasKids to search the area with cadaver dogs. After more than an hour the search was called off and nothing was found.

His family said the last they heard was he won $5,000 and a car in a Dice game. They feel that may have something to do with his disappearance but ECSO could not confirm any of that.

It's now been over a year Ernest has been missing. I hate even thinking of what could have happened to him. Ernest's family is still waiting for him to come home. They're in my prayers.

Family still in hope for finding man missing in Escambia County

Through prayer and tears, Finklea’s friends and family held a candlelight vigil Saturday evening, hoping for answers.

Finklea is not only a friend to many but a father.

“Whoever did something to my baby, it’s going to come out”, says Finklea’s mother.

“I want him to have a decent burial, a decent burial, he’s not a dog”, says Finklea’s mother. “Please Lord just tell us where he is.”
