Floyd Andy Parrish Jr., is missing after a visit to Athens, Georgia.
I'm a little confused about this case, so I'll try to piece this story together:
The Athens-Clarke County Police Department in Georgia and the Putnam County Sheriffs Office both say the case is not in their jurisdiction. Athens police said they were told by the Jacksonville Sheriffs Office that they found the truck and would tow it. Jacksonville police said they were not investigating the missing-person case.
Athens police said they wrote the missing-person report as a courtesy and learned that he was last seen not in Georgia, but at home in Interlachen. Putnam authorities said they are aware of the person who saw Parrish but have not been asked to question them. Athens Sgt. Brad Collinsworth said they want Putnam investigators to interview that person.
Andy Parrish worked at Publix for 22 years before leaving there in 2011 to pursue becoming a security guard. He has been working in Gainesville and commuting from a house he bought in Putnam during the past year.
He went to Athens Dec. 26 to visit family, including his brother, the pastor of Green Acres Baptist Church there. He apparently asked another person to watch his property while he was gone. Andy Parrish left Georgia Friday morning, then called his brother just before 6 p.m. to say he was in Gainesville and heading home.
Later that evening, Charles Parrish (Andy's brother) was called by a co-worker of his brothers who said Andy Parrish was in trouble with some people and had taken $15,000 and some guns to meet someone. The caller later said the amount may have been $28,000, according to the Athens police report. He also was told there was a woman involved. That doesnt wash with anyone Ive talked to, Charles Parrish said. He never said anything to anyone about a girl in Jacksonville.
Charles Parrish said he later learned Duval County had recovered his brothers Ford. An eyewitness told police they saw someone park the Explorer then get out and get in a truck and leave. The next morning the witness wakes up and the car is still there.
Andy Parrish had an extensive gun collection, his brother said, including a safe full of about 100 weapons, including AK-47, M-14s and 9mm handguns. I only know of three or four times in 20 years that he sold a gun, Charles Parrish said. He said no one yet has checked the gun safe in his brothers home to see if the weapons are missing.
It might be empty as far as I know, he said.
