NEWTON COUNTY, Texas — The Newton County Sheriff's Office is asking for help in locating a missing 38-year-old man who has not been seen since Thursday.

The mother of Joshua Ian Larkin contacted the sheriff's office to report him missing Saturday. She said she last saw Larkin on Thursday, November 17, 2022 around 9 a.m. at her residence in Kirbyville, according to a Newton County Sheriff's Office release.

Larkin is 6 feet tall and weighs about 180 pounds. He has short brown hair and green eyes, according to the release.

Larkin's mother told officials her son said he was going hunting in the 200 block of Private Road 725 in Call, Texas. She later learned her son never returned home.

On Friday, November 18, 2022, a friend asked Larkin's mother if she had seen her son, because Larkin's vehicle was still parked at the friend's residence in the 200 block of Private Road 725.

On Saturday, deputies searched a large wooded area where Larkin was last seen. The search turned up negative.

Deputies from the Vernon, Beauregard Parishes and Newton county sheriff's offices used a blood hound in hopes of finding Larkin. Crews from the Trout Creek Volunteer Firefighter Department provided assistance.

The search will continue Sunday morning.

Anyone with information that could lead to Larkin's location is asked to call the Newton County Sheriff’s Office at (409)379-3636 or 3637.

This is a developing story. We will update with more if and when we receive more confirmed information.
