Family of Vinton man missing nearly 41 days seeking answers
Douglas Crawford is missing. His son and daughter-in-law say this is out of his character, and they just want to increase awareness about his case.
”And the fact that he can’t talk because he had throat cancer. He writes everything down. If he’s hurt out there somewhere, he can’t yell for help. He can’t,” said daughter-in-law Katrina Crawford.
March 20, was the last day Crawford’s family saw him. Since then, they’ve missed quality time and even celebrating his birthday.
Jason Crawford says since the Vinton Police Department started investigating the case, they’ve gotten some answers but not enough to bring his dad home.
“The [solo] detective is working hard but Vinton is a small town with limited resources. The only help we’ve had looking for daddy is volunteers and us,” Jason Crawford said.
This week, the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office was asked to assist with the case and are speaking with several persons of interest who may have seen Crawford shortly before his disappearance.
