Steven E. Loines, 44, disappeared after running into woods off Highway 79N northeast of Paris, Tennessee, during a vehicle pursuit on August 23, 2017. He was a passenger in the vehicle; when the chase ended the car stopped and Loines fled into a field and then into dense woods. Immediate searches using K9 units and aerial support turned up no trace.

Investigators and family have continued searches over the years. In March 2020 law enforcement used three teams and two cadaver dogs to re-search woods along Highway 79N without success. A separate lead in May 2020—an anonymous note in a Murray, Kentucky convenience store bathroom claiming a body was in Hazel, Kentucky—prompted a three-day excavation involving multiple agencies, which also produced nothing. A reward was offered and later increased to $5,000. No credible sightings have been reported since he ran into the woods.

What can readers who were in the area that day or who may have seen Steven around late August 2017 share that could help move this case forward?
