Suffolk police and emergency responders are searching an area near Desert Road for a man missing since about 11 p.m. Sunday night.
Suffolk spokesperson Debbie George said Monday that Corey Eugene Lynch, 50, of the 4300 block of Desert Road, had not been seen or heard from since he left his house for a walk late Sunday night.
Lynch was wearing a black leather jacket with a large eagle on the back, along with tan pants and boots when he was last seen.
Fire and rescue personnel joined police and a search-and-rescue dog at the scene Monday morning, and by 2:30 p.m., they had been unable to find the man, and city officials released a photo, asking for the public’s help in locating him.
They also distributed a description and a call for help to drivers of school buses and other city vehicles in hopes that someone would see him during their afternoon travels.
Anyone with pertinent information is asked to call the Suffolk Police at 923-2350 and press 0.
