It would be helpful if we had more of a description. Photos can be old, appearances can change. Height? Weight? Age (even approximate) are all helpful.

Found his Facebook page..

And here’s another Facebook page

Not much on the second one, but it appears he just started a job renting out kid’s bouncy houses.

The first fb page has TONS of posts from ppl posting on his timeline..a lot of insight on the circumstances around the time he went missing IMO.

Wonder if cell phone was in the truck.

By reading through the posts on his fb timeline, his phone & his chrome book were not in his truck.
One of the missing person flyers states he was last seen in the Corydon area.
And his truck was found around Blue Springs Rd....BUT Lickford Bridge Rd keeps popping up in posts too

CPD also shared a post that shared that his phone pinged (but nothing turned up). So I would say his phone was not in the truck.

Close to Louisville, KY I wonder if they have checked all hospitals and jails there. Probably so, or I hope they did.

Clothing that matched the description of what Martin was wearing when he was last seen was found during the extensive search of the forest, officials said.

Officials said Martin's relatives have been notified
