His truck was found empty near the Naches River, Highway 84 area. https://www.ketk.com/news/top-stori...or-missing-rusk-man-last-seen-early-december/ There are some interesting comments on Facebook regarding who he may have been last seen with, and a possible eyewitness to that but I could not find ANY msm or LE source of that information to confirm it.
