Charles Franklin Huff, 76, was last seen at his Lakeland home on November 25, 2004, leaving about 8:00 a.m., reportedly bound for a hunting trip. He was a retired truck driver who often hunted in the Green Swamp Wildlife Management Area. His wife became worried after finding a package of chicken left to spoil and, when he did not return by evening, filed a missing person report early the next morning.

Huff’s white 1994 Mazda pickup was found the day after he disappeared on Tanic Grade near Main Grade, roughly six miles inside the 50,000-acre Green Swamp. His sneakers were inside the vehicle but there was no sign of him; he was believed to have been carrying a .22-gauge rifle. Cold night temperatures, his history of heart surgery and borderline diabetes without medication were noted as concerns. A large multi-agency search with helicopters, dogs and volunteers turned up no trace. His family later suspected foul play but no evidence has emerged. Charles Huff was declared legally dead in 2010.

Does anyone who hunted in the Green Swamp at that time remember seeing his truck or hiking in the Tanic Grade area around November 25, 2004?
