GUERNSEY COUNTY, Ohio — The family of 77-year-old Guernsey County resident John Sigman is desperate for clues on his whereabouts.
It has been nearly one month since Sigman left his home in Lore City on May 11 around 6 p.m. and never returned.
He drove away in his silver Ford F-150 truck. The truck is a 2013 model with the license plate, HDW 7850.
Sigman’s family said he is a man of routine and is usually never gone for more than a few hours at a time when traveling to the store or a family member's house. He is also known to take drives to Seneca Lake and Salt Fork Lake.
“We have had a lot of good people help us with drones, walking fields, walking back roads. All of our family have done the same walk, driven, looked for maybe possible accidents, maybe ran off the road, maybe he broke down. We have tried a lot of things,” said his son, Michael Sigman.
Sigman is an army veteran and served in Vietnam.
He lives in Lore City Michael.
He recently started having memory issues, according to his daughter, Shannon West.
“It is undiagnosed but he has been having memory problems for the last year and they were getting worse but he still could take care of himself, he still takes his walks and his drives. He takes care of himself still,” said West, who described her father as the best person she knows.
The Guernsey County Sheriff’s Office issued a silver alert for Sigman.
His family traveled to Columbus on Saturday to join other families missing their loved ones in a March for the Missing.
They are holding out hope for some good news soon.
“We don’t know where he is, we have had nothing, no concrete tip. We have had people reach out and say 'we think' and 'maybe,' but those haven’t panned out to be anything,” West said.
