Keith Allen Rocheleau, 47, disappeared from the Brooks County, Georgia area in early August 2009 while looking after his parents’ home on Cooey Road. Around August 4 he drove his red 1995 Dodge Dakota, which became stuck in the mud about two and a half miles from his parents’ house. He reportedly walked back and tried to use his father’s gold 1997 Ford F-150 to pull the Dakota free, but that truck also became stuck in a ditch.

When his parents returned home they found the front door unlocked and strange signs outside: Keith’s cell phone, glasses and hat scattered in the yard, and his shoes found down the road. Inside his own home on Barrett Lane a steak was left thawing on the counter and the dog he was caring for was unattended, suggesting he planned to return soon. Searches by county deputies, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and volunteers used dogs and helicopters but did not locate him.

Foul play has been considered a possibility, but no definitive explanation has been found. Anyone who knew Keith or has information about his movements in early August 2009 is asked to come forward.
