The search effort persists for a Georgia man who mysteriously disappeared on Sunday after setting out from his home with his dog.

According to a report by Atlanta’s 11 Alive News, James “Greg” Powell, 61, was last seen leaving his Cherokee County residence early Sunday morning.

The Canton Police Department noted that Powell left home at precisely 9:09 a.m. that day. His vehicle was later discovered by authorities near the River Green Tennis Courts, located at 111 Racquet Club Drive in Canton.
