FL FL - Terry Hobbs, 55, Kinard, 13 Apr 2019

Calhoun County man still missing

The news report does not sound good. He was seen in Maclenny, which is quite a ways east of Kinard. Apparently, he returned to Kinard and was seen on April 13. Then he vanished. Police seem to have checked into some leads but did not come up with anything useful. If you check the Calhoun County Sheriff's Facebook page, you'll find some interesting discussion of what family members think happened to Terry.

For what it's worth, there is another man missing from the Maclenny area. This is the area that Hobbs visited before returning to Kinard.

Still missing.

The family called Hobbs’s cell phone when it was clear he had gone missing. They were surprised when another man picked up. The same man, Billy Black, also reset Hobbs’s phone to factory settings and changed the voicemail message to his own.

Whew! Many of these comments make clear to me that this family is not at all satisfied with LE's investigation of Terry's disappearance. I hope they can get some answers soon.

There's not much on Terry's FB page that I can see except a friend's list.

BBM - When did this happen and where was his clothing found? I don't think I read that in any reports posted above.

Details of Disappearance
Hobbs was last seen in Gulf County, Florida on April 17, 2019. He lived with his daughter and son-in-law and their three children in Macclenny, Florida; he had moved there from his home in Kinard, Florida in the fall of 2018 after Hurricane Michael hit the area. On April 12, Hobbs's daughter drove him back to Kinard for a visit. When she returned on April 20 to pick him up, he was nowhere to be found.

On the day of Hobbs's disappearance, he visited the home of a friend, Mack Morgan, in Kinard, Florida. Later that day he and two other friends went to the Creek Stop Convenience Store in Wewahitchka. He has never been heard from again. After his disappearance, the gray shirt Hobbs had been wearing was found at the home of Dwight Morgan, Mack's brother.

During his stay in Kinard in the days prior to going missing, Hobbs visited several family members. They last saw him on April 13. When they couldn't find Hobbs and tried calling his cellular phone, another person answered. This person, an acquaintance of Hobbs, had reset the phone to factory settings and changed the voice mail message to his own. The police recovered the phone the day Hobbs was reported missing.

Calhoun County, Florida police are investigating Hobbs's disappearance. It's uncharacteristic of him to leave without warning and there is concern for his safety.
