JONES, Okla. -- The search for a missing man has grown into a statewide investigation.
Tony Day, 46, hasn't been seen since last Thursday and officers found his truck abandoned in Jones.
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation is now stepping in to help with the search, as Day's family has passed out more than 300 fliers.
"(I'm) struggling. It is tough," said Brenda Day. "I can't sleep."
She said she has been going through pictures of her wedding, one of the happiest days of her life. She said not knowing what has happened to her husband for the past week has been one of the worst experiences she's ever had.
"Every time I close my eyes, I see his face. It's hard to eat, but I have to keep on going because I have three children here that rely on me," Brenda Day said.
Jones police said they were able to find out that Tony Day stopped at the corner of Britton and Harrah roads for four minutes on Thursday morning. His truck was found in a field about 12 hours later.
"It is very hard, very hard," Brenda Day. "I miss him."
Jones police said they're investigating the disappearance as a missing person's case but haven't ruled out foul play.
Brenda Day said her husband would never just leave. He was supposed to be in court on Friday for a custody heating about his youngest daughter from another relationship and she said he would never miss that.
She said she saw the girl's mother on Friday, but authorities have not been able to talk to her. The custody case has been postponed until January
