Luis Vargas Montes, 34, went missing from Wake Forest, North Carolina, on August 15, 2008. He was last seen at the Fidelity Bank at 12201 Capital Blvd wearing a light-colored t-shirt, jeans, work boots and a black baseball cap. He is described as 5 feet 10 inches and 150 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.

His family reported him missing on August 16, 2008. Investigators found his vehicle abandoned near Falls Lake on August 18, and law enforcement focused searches on the lake and surrounding area. On August 21, a larger coordinated search involving Wake Forest police and county and state agencies searched parts of the lake and nearby terrain but turned up no trace of him. Investigators could not determine whether he left the vehicle voluntarily or whether foul play was involved; his family said disappearing on his own would have been highly out of character, and he was the father of a two-year-old son.

Does anyone who lived or worked near Falls Lake in August 2008 have information that could help locate Luis Montes or explain what happened to him?
