Family of missing eastern Ky. man desperate for answers five months after disappearance​

Charles Prater, also known as C.C., was last seen in Fleming County on May 9.

[...]

“Everyday you go outside and you’re like, ‘Oh is he going to go up the driveway?’ and he doesn’t show up,” said Prater’s sister Shae. “We don’t get any phone calls, no information, absolutely nothing. It’s just aggravating, it’s frustrating.”

Shae admits her brother has his demons. The family worries it got the best of him and are just wanting to know he’s okay.

[...]

Police say the last activity on Prater’s phone was the day he was last seen. The phone was found at a home, but the SIM card had been removed. It has not been activated since. Police say there hasn’t been any activity from his bank accounts.

[...]

There have been several searches over the last five months, and more are planned.

“We’ve spent countless hours flying a drone,” Conn said. “Fleming County is a very rural area. There’s a lot of areas that are heavily wooded. We’ve tried to do a lot of foot search.”

[...]

There is a $5,000 reward for information that leads to Charles Prater. Anyone can call (606) 845-2121 with information.

Noting:

Pea Ridge was the location where a 2012 Equinox was recovered, which was stolen at the same approximate time as Prater went missing and the vehicle was stolen from a locked garage from a home just off Morehead Road, abut 1-2 miles from where Prater was last seen. The vehicle was recovered near the end of October 2022, just off Goddard Road and appeared to have been abandoned there for several days before being found by an out-of-county ginseng hunter. The vehicle may have been there for weeks, even months, according to law enforcement officers.

Law enforcement officials are unsure if there is a connection to the vehicle and Prater’s disappearance, but items found in the vehicle, including head gear, are now being analyzed by the Kentucky State Police Crime lab.

Rest in peace, CC.

Prater is a common name in KY. Just because they had the same last name, does not imply that they knew each other.
