Need help. Missing uncle.

We Need Your Help! 2-21-06

As many of you may already know, my father has been missing since Feb. 4th 2006. Many of you have come to me to share your care and concern and see if you could help in some way. I appreciate each and every one of you keeping us in your thoughts and prayers. Now I would like to ask for your help. There are hundreds of thousands of missing adults in the country today, and as I have realized through countless hours of research, the resources to find them are not there. Missing adults are entered into a database (CODIS) that is only accessible by law enforcement agencies, coroners, medical examiners, etc. This makes it difficult for the community to know what to look for when trying to find a missing person. There are no amber alerts for adults. We need as many people as possible to have the information to spot my father. We need media coverage, and because there is no suspicion of foul play, and he is not a child, the networds don't want to broadcast his information. Please take a moment to call or email the networks and tell them you want to see more information on the missing upstate man, Charlie Duffie. The phone numbers and emails are listed below. We are working on posting his info at jasonsproject.org and the National Center for Missing Adults, at theyaremissed.org. Also, as an effort to raise community awareness of my fathers disappearance, we are trying to organize various prayer and candlelight vigils...if your church or organization would like to be involved, please let me know. My email address is duffiemel@yahoo.com. You can send me contact information and I will get in touch with your organization. Thank you so much...

News Channel 7 phone 864-233-7777 email: go to wspa.com and follow links, contact us, news story

Spartanburg County Investigators need your help to find a missing man. Charlie Duffie is the man they're looking for. Duffie's wife says he left Saturday to drop-off some trash at the landfill, and hasn't been home since. Duffie was driving a 19-92 red and gray Chevy pick-up. If you know his whereabouts, call the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office.

I'm in Pickens County and I would be more than willing to put up any flyers. Good luck with your search, and we will all pitch in however we can.

As a side note, you may want to bring this information to Churches around the area. If you have any pictures, flyers, or other information, let me know and I will bring it to the local churches in this area.

Will keep an eye out in Greenville/Anderson areas and foward to email friends.

Do you have any pictures of uncle + truck that you could scan and post? Recognition is much easier than recall.

Thanks so much PPM. I didn't realize they had him listed there yet. Will print them out and pass along around the Gaffney area. Also, thanks to all for your concern. Due to my job, I cant spend much time here, but will keep everyone updated. Thanks again!

I will try to find a pic of the truck he was driving and post it here ASAP.

Neal, I hope Melissa and family have some resolution to this soon. Thanks for posting this here. I sent to all my SC mailing list this morning and pray for good results. I got another email from Melissa this evening. She seems like a wonderful, concerned daughter. God bless your family.
