I lived in Shreveport for about a decade until 2001. I've been back a couple of times since to visit friends, and I wanted to mention that there was a lot of road construction being done around 2003 (some of it was over water too). The foliage around the river was also not as thick in some places as it is now. I, for one, used to drive my car up a bank almost right up to the river just to hang out when I lived there, but you can't get anywhere near the bank in the same area now because it's too overgrown. It looks like you covered some of the area of Cross Lake where there was a lot of road construction going on at the time, so that's good. Just keep in mind that the area around the bodies of water in that area was very very different in 2003. There were many entry points into the water back then that no longer exist now. I'm sorry - I didn't know him personally and I don't know if this information is at all helpful. If anything, maybe it widens the scope. But, I still felt compelled to mention it. I wish the son & the rest of the family the best possible outcome.

Excellent point about road construction and vegetation at the time!

Being from Louisiana there are so many bodies of water that a person can go missing in. You and every group that does this kind of work on your own are heroes to many of the families who have lost their loved ones.

[@bl0ndiel0x]

I'm from SEark and same sentiment there. Bayous, creeks, reservoirs, rivers, lakes, tributaries, etc. I remember a mother and her kids were lost in a bad storm and weren't found for days until someone finally looked under the overpass. The youngest had only just passed. Stories like these shouldn't happen, ever.

[@pas69]

There is always a chance for someone to be in a body of water here in Louisiana. When I first started watching these guys my mind wandered on how many people they would find in a body of water here. There is never a pin point unless it was by car and a reason they would be in a particular spot. Nomatter the situation it is sad that they have to be lost is the water like that. Nomatter what water he may be in they have to be careful because we do have gators everywhere. It was cold that year in its 50s as highs and lows 30s. The sad part is he could be in a area of woods somewhere because woods and water is our body finds. I think the biggest key factor is who was the friend he was suppose to be going visit that night and why so late at night.

[@theWs123]

Very true. We're in SE La & there are always reports of people going into the marshy swamps, bayous, etc.

[@theuniquelifeoffour]

This hit home hard for me because I'm from Shreveport Louisiana and yes there are so many bodies of water all up and down and throughout Louisiana. Kids have died in the river just trying to fish. God rest all theirs souls. And God bring peace to this man and family.

I make my living from words, however on this channel, words often fail me.

[@Tattooedladyd]

I hope he finds his father. I get this weird feeling that there was an accident from what little bit is known. Why would he plan to cook dinner for his family and spend time with them, but commit suicide? Doesn't make sense to me. Most suicidal folks don't make plans for anything in the future because they know they won't be there for it. If he was out driving later at night, anything is possible on dark roads. There's definitely a missing x factor. I don't think cell phone pings were a huge thing back in 03, but I could be wrong. I wonder if the friend would know if he showed up, if he could find out who his dad's friend is, I think it would give more clues.

[@mustangsally00gt]

Well that's the thing about depression you can be fine one day and totally in the hole the next. It's very normal for people with suicide ideations to make plans, I know I came close a couple of times in my own struggle. Mental health is just so important and there's so much negative stigmas around it and a lot of people don't talk about it in fear of showing weakness. Hopefully, we get closer everyday to lessen that shame and make it a normal conversation to have without judgement. I pray he finds his dad and these guys are amazing and deserve more attention for their kindness.

[@wandastevens3183]

That funeral had to have been at the house with everyone if the person was much of a friend ,and volunteered with others to help look for him...seem like that friend would've mention that he was the friend that squabbled with his dad...

[@pattishumateanderson4633]

@@davidwoermansr, you are not in touch with your family and now I read that you have problems with mental health. I pray that you get counseling and truly open up and accept the help. I could never attempt suicide. First for fear of it not being successful and having to live the remainer of my life as a quadriplegic because of my stupidity. Secondly because I think it would prevent my going to heaven because of the commandment, "Thou shall not kill". I am so thankful that you came through your suicide attempt. You have much to live for. Just look around and you will see that there are so many less fortunate than you. When you feel yourself getting down you can volunteer to help others and that will lift you up. Find an organization that suits you and join. My prayers are with you.

Its disappointing when Ernest missing person report was filed that cell phone records and ping locations weren't apart of the Police file, which could have help narrow down last known location or point of travel.

The man said he was going to meet a friend. Did he have a friend that died recent to his own disappearance? If so, where and how? Those would be questions that might point a direction to look. I had something else jump out at me. Chaos Divers worked a case of a White car in a waterway that was on Google Earth. They went and looked, the car had been removed, but it was a white Caddy. I don't know where this was and if it could possibly be related to this case, but we have seen where so many of the cars were never investigated. God Bless you all!

Doug or Jared i am from Shreveport,Louisiana and currently live in Shreveport, the one thing i noticed that was not mention is several years ago Shreveport experienced a major flood multiple times where the red river rose and flooded all the areas yall looked and was like that for several weeks, we even made national news on the flooding, i also can think of others of body of waters that run along Old Mooringsport Rd that i know as a kid i use to go fishing at and with Mr Franklin working at the UOP plant i would not discredit Mooringsport,La and Caddo Lake as Mooringsport ,La is not that far from the UOP plant, i will also send this comment to your email, with my contact info.

He could be anywhere between his house and his friends. Doesn’t anyone know who his friend was or can they access his phone records? He may have lost control on an unfamiliar road.

[@standback5806]

I am so with you, detective Joelle!

[@angelicap2736]

I wish the friend whom he visited would step up and say "i was the last person to see him." That would answer so many questions and help in finding him!🙏🏽
