PRINCETON, Ind. (WFIE) - Indiana State Police, Evansville Police, and Princeton Police are looking for a missing man.

Authorities say Kenneth Brian Colbert was last seen December 9.

He was driving a plum colored 2017 Toyota Avalon with a temp license plate.

Police say that car was last seen leaving his co-worker’s home on S. Race Street in Princeton.

 
Kenneth is still missing. :( The video at the link below shows additional photos of Kenneth. His step-daughter says "there was nothing bad going on for him to just want to up and leave". She says he didn't take any of his clothes, he didn't cancel his debit cards or take any large sums of money. "Everything just stopped", she said.

SBM
Colbert’s family released a statement in hopes someone may know where he is, saying he was last seen at Susan Bobe’s Pizza with a co-worker on December 9.

hope they're checking down ravines and water areas on his route
From the pizza place where he was seen with his coworker to Evansville where he lived is a straight shot down highway 41 after leaving Main Street in Princeton. There are no bodies of water along the route of any size that I know of. Not sure about ravines, it's pretty much flat farmland as I remember when I lived in Indiana.
 
Okay I'm a little confused. At the end of the article it states
The family says Colbert was driving a plum colored 2017 Toyota Avalon that has an Indiana Temp license plate. Family members tell us Colbert hasn’t reported to his job at Toyota Boshoku Indiana in Princeton since his disappearance.

But at the beginning

So where does he work?!?

Seen at a pizza place with a co-worker doesn't mean he works at the pizza place. Most likely it means he was having pizza with a co-worker right?
 

MT. CARMEL, Ind. (WEHT)– A private diving team is stepping up to help in the search for a man who has been missing for a month. The group is called “Chaos Divers”, and is based in Southern Illinois. It travels around the country to bring closure to families of missing persons.

The group arrived at the Mt. Carmel Boat Ramp after being contacted by the wife of Kenneth Brian Colbert. Colbert and his Toyota Avalon vanished about a month ago. He has not reported to his job at Toyota Boshoku since he went missing. “Chaos Divers” Logistics Manager Linsday Bussick says she is skeptical about the circumstances surrounding the disappearance.

“The fact that he and his vehicle went missing in an instant. Just leads us to believe, that in our experience, the easiest place to hide a vehicle is in the water,” she says.

Sadly, the victim was identified today as Colbert. :(

On Saturday, January 21, Gibson County Coroner Barrett Doyle identified the person in the 2017 Toyota Avalon as Brian Colbert, 47, of Evansville. An autopsy was also conducted, but the results are pending.

Indiana State Police believe that sometime during the evening on December 9th, Colbert was traveling south on Old US 41 south of CR 150 South when he drove left of center, left the roadway on the east side, dropped down into a deep ravine, overturned, and entered Pigeon Creek near the bridge. Anyone traveling on Old US 41 would not have been able to see the vehicle. Detectives also believe that when the creek level increased due to recent rainfall, the vehicle moved under the bridge making it even more difficult to spot.
