Charles Albert Thompson, 52, was last seen October 2, 2015, after leaving his family’s ranch in Somerset, California, to help a friend move to Modesto. That afternoon he was observed leaving with an unidentified white female in a late-model white SUV. Surveillance shows he visited Gray’s Mart in Somerset and the El Dorado Savings Bank in Diamond Springs, then checked into a Best Western Inn in Jackson with the same woman.

Thompson checked out of the Best Western on October 3 and was never seen or heard from again. His family reported him missing when he failed to return home as expected. The El Dorado County Sheriff’s Department investigated and tracked his movements from that day, but no leads developed and the case is now cold.

If anyone saw Charles, that white SUV, or the woman seen with him on October 2–3, or has information about his movements after checking out of the Jackson motel, contact the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office.
