GEIGER, Ala. (WTOK) - Family members are asking for the public's help in locating a missing businessman from West Alabama. William Anthony Scott was last seen Dec. 26 around 12:30 p.m. At that time family members say the 61-year-old from Geiger was wearing blue jeans, a black coat and black shoes.

Scott was last known to be driving to Tuscaloosa with two relatives. He is 5' 8" tall and has brown eyes. He is the owner of Anthony's Lounge in Geiger.

Scott's family has reached out to authorities in Sumter and Tuscaloosa counties in Alabama, and to the Kemper County Sheriff's Department in Mississippi.

GEIGER, Ala. (WTOK) - There are still many questions and virtually no answers about what happened to a West Alabama businessman who's been missing for almost two weeks.

"Anybody who's heard from him please just let us know," says William (Robert) Scott's cousin, Carolyn Shields. She, and the 61-year-old's other loved ones are making this plea to the public. Around mid-day on the day after Christmas is when Robert was seen at home in Geiger.

"It's strange because that's something that Robert has never done," says his brother-in-law, Michael Cunningham.

"This is not like Robert," says Shields."He always comes here."

Robert Scott was seen leaving his house. At the time he was driving two relatives back to Tuscaloosa. Scott's relatives made it home. According to investigators, the last time that he was seen was on that day after Christmas in a Lowes store in Tuscaloosa.

"We've put his information into the national database," says Sumter County Sheriff Brian Harris. "So, if any law enforcement officer runs across the vehicle they'll know that it is Mr. Scott's vehicle and that he's missing. We've also put his information into the tag readers that law enforcement use. So, if that vehicle passes by any of the tag readers it will show up that's we're looking for that vehicle."

Looking at Google street view, I was at first looking for any bodies of water along the way back to Geiger, from Tuscaloosa... but actually, there is plenty of brush along I-20/59 that if he drove off the road into that, it would be hard to see the car.
What time was he last seen at Lowes in Tuscaloosa? Was he alone? Was it before or after he dropped off the two un-named relatives? Was he captured on cctv, or did someone just say they saw him? Who were the relatives?
For some reason, that all sounds a bit hinky.
But if all is normal there, he may have driven off the road somewhere on the way back.
Does he have a manager/employees who've been running his Lounge, or has it been closed the whole time?
One way or the other, this does not sound like it will have a happy ending. :(
Hope he is found soon.

Authorities say Scott’s truck was located in the body of water off Highway 39 near Heflin Dam in Gainesville. The discovery was made last night. Crews pulled the truck out of the pond and confirmed it belonged to Robert Scott. A dive team was brought in Saturday morning for a more thorough search. The team located a body which was retrieved around noon Saturday.

For about 15 years Scott has operated Anthony's Lounge in Geiger. Sheriff Brian Harris says on the day that Scott went missing he was driving his 2002 maroon Chevy Tahoe.

"It is very concerning to me that an upstanding citizen like Mr. Scott, a business owner, hasn't turned up," says Harris.

"Actually, we need some kind of closure," says Cunningham."It would make us feel a lot better."

"Robert, wherever you're at we'd love for you to just come home and be with the family because we're really worried about you," says Shields.

William Scott goes by the name, Robert. He's 61, 5"8" and has brown eyes. Scott was last seen wearing blue jeans, a black coat and black shoes.
