Rescue crews search for Henderson Co. man missing over 48 hours

HENDERSON COUNTY, Tenn. — Family members joined Henderson County Rescue Crews Monday to search for their loved one Rocky Wilson, who has been missing for more than 48 hours.

Wilson’s brother Erick said it’s unusual for his brother to go missing for this long.

“He never would stay gone overnight, and especially not in this cold weather,” he said.

Erick said he called the sheriff’s department after his brother didn’t return home.

“He had been grocery shopping and he was supposed to be taking his groceries home to his kids, and they had called like at 1 o’clock that afternoon and said he never showed up,” Erick said.

The sheriff’s department received a call Sunday that Wilson’s car was found parked on Black Bottom Road in northern Henderson County.

“That’s how we knew where to come and what vicinity to start looking in,” Erick said. “We’ve been out here pretty much all day, and as of right now they’ve not found nothing.”

“I’ve seen these things go days, I’ve seen them go hours — there’s no reason to it,” said Investigator Jeremiah Adams with the Henderson County Sheriff’s Department. “It’s just get out there and search until we find something.”

Henderson County Rescue crews still haven’t found anything. Now they’re asking for the public’s help.

“If anyone has any information and have possibly seen Rocky Wilson between Saturday and today (Monday), may possibly know his location, may know where he’s been, please contact the sheriff’s department,” Adams said.

Wilson is a white male, age 39, and was last seen wearing a green Carhartt jacket, blue jeans, a white shirt, and boots.

Anyone with information on Wilson’s whereabouts should contact the Henderson County Sheriff’s Department at 731-968-2407.
