Orange shirt would make this an ideal job for a drone search.

A little more detail...

Prunkard was last seen using the telephone while waiting nearby in the parking lot of Nic’s Grab ‘n Go.

I did a Google drive of 22 between the bridge and the Grab 'n Go. Nothing else there. The center with the Grab 'n Go, some houses, the bridge and what looks like a Pyramid monument of some sort.

Only things that come to mind are the river and hitching a ride with a truck driver.

I wonder if anyone checked the small blue building at the end of the parking lot? He might have ducked in there to get out of the heavy rain.

I hate to state the obvious, but I wonder if they pulled the security camera footage from the Grab-N-Go to at least see what direction he wandered off after the phone call.
