The search for Ricky Griffis began two days after his last contact with his mother.

When Alice Mabe texted her 46-year-old son, asking if he was coming home that night, he said "no." He didn’t come home the next night either. And then he didn’t show up for work.  

Griffis was seen leaving an acquaintance’s place of business on July 5th. Several texts were exchanged with the acquaintance. The next day his car was found near the Coopersville strip mines.

That morning, Griffis sent his family a strange text around 9 a.m. It said he was stuck in the woods, but Griffis’ cell phone was found in the vehicle, along with his wallet.
