Detectives and deputies from the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office spent Wednesday morning searching some private property near Fieldbrook while following a lead in the disappearance of Jerry George, a McKinleyville man last seen in late January.
We're following up on a tip, said Sgt. Wayne Hanson of the Sheriff's Office.
George, 29, was last seen Jan. 21 at the home of a friend on Reasor Road in McKinleyville.
About a week later, a search warrant was served on the home, but investigators aren't saying what they found, if anything. About that time officials classified the disappearance as suspicious and the search warrant affidavits were sealed, meaning the documents are inaccessible for public review.
On Wednesday, investigators used all-terrain vehicles to access the wooded private property off Murray Road, about a mile from the Murray Road and Central Avenue intersection.
Just before noon they packed up the ATVs without locating anything.
Authorities said George was reported missing Jan. 22. People at the home he was visiting told investigators that George left to walk home around 11:45 p.m. on Jan. 21.
George is black, 6 feet 3 inches tall, 250 pounds and has gold teeth. A tattoo on his left forearm reads Hauna and one on his neck reads Shanda.
He was last seen wearing a black shirt, blue jeans, a brown jacket and black shoes.
Anyone with information on George is asked to call Detective Cheryl Franco at 268-3644.
