Ronnie Douglas Sutton, 48, of Asheboro, North Carolina, was last seen by relatives on October 14, 2012. Family members reported he had been struggling with depression. A neighbor reported seeing Sutton leave his home in his charcoal gray 1994 Nissan pickup truck around midnight on October 18; that was the last reported sighting.

A family member used a spare key the next day to check the house and found Sutton’s medications and his phone left on a counter, suggesting he had not intended to be away for long. The truck was found the same day at Sheets Gap Overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Wilkes County, about 128 miles and more than a two-hour drive from his Randolph County home.

The National Park Service located the vehicle and multiple agencies carried out large-scale Search and Rescue operations in the rugged area, but searches turned up no sign of Sutton. His disappearance remains unresolved and his family continues to have unanswered questions.

If anyone saw Ronnie, his truck, or unusual activity near Sheets Gap Overlook in mid-October 2012, please share what you know.
