This is such a strange case. 3 men missing from the same area and other than Jeffrey Ben there isn't much out there on Joe. There is a facebook post for Joe which 2 of his daughters replied saying Joe was their dad but no information. I can't understand why there isn't anything on Darrell Hamman. Charley project and several articles spell his name as Darrell Hammons but I'm pretty sure it's Darrell Wayne Hamman from my research. Why isn't there anything at all about him missing except the articles for Jeffrey which just mentions his name. Was he never reported missing? Anybody have any idea what the story with Darrell is?
