A Tollette, Ark., man remains missing, according to Howard County authorities.
Alvin Dennis Thomas, 53, was reported missing by his family on March 27.
According to the missing persons' report, Thomas lives with his mother, Catherine Thomas, a sister, Denise, a brother, Allen and a nephew, Keenan.
Catherine, Denise and Allen all went out of town March 23 for the weekend. According to the report, Keenan and Thomas stayed at home, but Thomas was not home when they returned the evening of March 25 . Allen reported Thomas' car was parked in the yard and the windows were down. He said it appeared to be in the same place it was the day they left.
Authorities said Thomas works at Husqvarna in Nashville, but he did not report to work March 26 or 27. Officials with Husqvarna reported Thomas did not call in or schedule to be off those days. Co-workers and supervisors said it was out of character for him to miss work, Howard County Sheriff Bryan McJunkins said.
Thomas' nephew, Keenan reported he saw Thomas late Saturday night March 24 lying on the couch watching television.
Family members also said Thomas likes to run for exercise and would run several miles at a time, leaving his house and taking different routes, but often running on Highway 355.
Law enforcement members and volunteers were searching an area between Mineral Springs and Tollette when a passerby who knows Thomas reported they saw him running just south of the Mine Creek Bridge the evening of March 25.
"An extensive search was then conducted of that area, including the waterways," McJunkins said.
