Charles Phillip Wheat, known as Slim, was 34 when he disappeared from the Winnfield area of Louisiana. Family contact ended in mid-March 2012; he was last seen March 16, 2012, on Iron Bridge Road south of Winnfield and east of Louisiana Highway 167. His father reported him missing on April 26, 2012, after weeks without word. The circumstances are described as suspicious and foul play is suspected.

Wheat is a white male with brown hair and blue eyes, 6 feet 4 inches and about 180 pounds. Distinctive tattoos include a red cross and chain near his left wrist, a biker’s skeleton on his upper right arm, a Harley Davidson emblem on his left arm, and a Happy Hour bar sign on his right forearm. The Winn Parish Sheriff’s Office leads the investigation with assistance from the LSU FACES Laboratory, and the family says the disappearance has left them devastated.

If anyone saw Charles around Iron Bridge Road in March 2012 or has information about his movements or associates from that time, please share what you know.
