“It is believed that they left the Newport area on Monday, September 7, 2020 shortly after 2:00 PM riding on a red 2001 Honda GL18R1 Trike with NH license plates,” police said in a statement.
“There was no set destination, but Proper is an avid rider and frequently travels throughout the western NH/Lakes Region area on his motorcycle.”

The 22-year-old had a cellphone with him, but police said information from the device is limited because of bad cell service.

Cody's mother said that her father picked up her son from his Newport home on Monday for the ride. She said that the area where her son’s phone last pinged was searched and both men’s bank records have been checked.

“Please look over banks, in ditches when (you’re) walking, driving, on your bikes, on your motorcycle. Please don’t stop looking for them! Please bring my Dad and my precious son home. Time is of the essence.”
