Wesley Dale Ridge, 39, was last seen on March 7, 2016, near his home by Hales Bar Marina on U.S. Highway 41 in Jasper, Tennessee. A female friend told the Marion County Sheriff’s Department she saw him walk into his house and then leave in a car with another man, a coworker. That coworker later told investigators he gave Wesley a ride to a local bar, but no one at the bar remembered seeing him that day. Wesley’s cell phone was used that afternoon and went silent afterward.

At the time he disappeared Wesley was described as a white male about 5 feet 9 inches to 6 feet 0 inches, roughly 200 pounds, with blue eyes, a shaved head (natural hair blond), and a goatee. Distinctive marks include the name EMMA tattooed over his heart, an eagle on his left shoulder, and surgical scars from a hernia and gallbladder removal. He was last believed to be wearing a striped Carhartt shirt and brown Carhartt pants. His wallet was missing and reportedly emptied of its contents.

Investigators have had few leads; a later homicide of Wesley’s uncle is not believed to be connected. There has been no communication or financial activity linked to Wesley since March 7, 2016, and his whereabouts remain unknown. If anyone knew Wesley’s movements that day, his routines, or saw him after he got into the car, please come forward with information.
