Authorities said that Charles Martin Jr., from the Shingle Shop Road area, hasn’t been seen or heard from since Saturday, Jan. 14.

We’re told Martin has been working for the same company for several years and hasn’t missed a day of work until now.

The Sheriff’s Office said they searched his home on Tuesday morning but did not find him.

Martin may be in his Champagne colored 2005 Ford Explorer with VA tags that read USP-6589, according to the authorities. The Explorer should have a Washington Redskins logo on the back glass.

The Patrick County Sheriff’s Office believes the circumstances of Martin’s disappearance to be suspicious, and is continuing to investigate.
