‘Completely unlike him’: Dammeron Valley man missing after failing to show up to job – St. George News
<snipped & BBM>
A Dammeron Valley man has been missing since Friday morning after he didn’t show up for a scheduled job with the metal-working/gate business he worked for.
Spring Dykstra, the mother of Tanner Marvel, 28, said he told his father around 10 a.m. Friday that he was heading to meet with a business partner and pick up steel for his next job with his grandfather’s St. George-based Black Dog Metal Art business.
Dykstra said her son never showed up for that job in St. George at noon on Friday and hasn’t been seen since.
[...]
But there is one more factor Dykstra said is very unusual about Marvel’s whereabouts: His dog was left behind. Dykstra said Marvel’s dog Roady was like a son to him.
“He’s named Roady because that dog goes everywhere with him,” Dykstra said. “It’s not like him to go off the beaten path. Not like this where he doesn’t tell us where he’s going.”
The Washington County Sheriff has an active search going to find Marvel’s whereabouts. According to the family, Marvel’s phone last pinged in Santa Clara before losing its charge on Friday at 5 p.m.
[...]
Hafika said deputies are looking at “all different angles,” but some of the usual reliable resources, like seeing if bank cards are being used, haven’t been triggered as he said apparently Marvel usually uses cash.
[...]
Dykstra also said Marvel is a former U.S. Marine who knows how to deal with extended stays in the outdoors.
“In his perfect world he would be a mountain man,” Dykstra said. “But not letting us know is a different story.”
Tanner Marvel, who wears glasses, is 5-foot-10, 225 pounds with brown hair and hazel eyes. He was last seen driving a white 2010 Ford F-150 pick-up with Utah Arches license plate U18 9AU.
