According to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Department, 36-year-old Wayne Nathaniel Umble left his home, on foot, between the hours of 3:00am and 6:30am, on the morning of August 18, 2021. He left messages indicating that he may harm himself. Umble’s lip is pierced and he has a tattoo of a dragon on his right calf and the name “Jada Rayne” with footprints on his left forearm. He is described as a white male with brown hair, hazel eyes, 6′0″ in height and around 160lbs. Umble is legally blind and struggles with health problems caused by diabetes. He is without his insulin and may require medical attention. Police say Umble’s last cell phone location was pinged around the 2200 block of Broad Run Road in Jane Lew, WV.

“I just want to find my son” Umble’s mother, Michelle Lantz said. “He’s got a girlfriend, he’s got a baby on the way, he’s got three other children and they all love him, and they need him,” she said.
He’s done this before, left, but he always came back, and it’s always the same day,” Lantz said. “So, I don’t know if something has happened. Maybe he did take too much insulin or maybe it was in his mind that he was going to go out and harm himself.”
Umble was last seen in a black shirt heading into the woods near the Jane Lew Apartments complex. His family said he had a love for nature, so no one thought anything of it until he didn’t return. Katie Cox, Umble’s fiancé, said she has been told that he was seen off Route 50 and near Sun Valley, but nothing has been confirmed by deputies.
“I couldn’t get a hold of him, I called him, I was at work, I texted, I got a hold of Katie, everybody went out and looked for him, but we didn’t know where else to look because he usually goes down in the woods,” Lantz
“He ditched his cell phone,” Umble’s sister, Chelsey Umble said.
It’s been pinging, but it’s been pinging in the same place for days,” Lantz said.
“Please, he’s not in his right frame of mind. He just needs to come home. Just call 911, someone will come get him,” Lantz said.
