Missing: Martin John Rogers

[FindMartinJohnRogers]

We are searching for a good family friend who is missing from Gaithersburg, MD. He was last spotted on the C&O Trail near Shepherdstown, WV on Sunday, 8/24. He has always wanted to hike the AT, so we're trying to get word out on the chance he goes that way. Flyers were posted Tues, 8/26, at Harper's Ferry Conservatory Visitors Center and at the trail crossings in Weverton and at Gathland State Park.

Here is the link to the Montgomery County Police news release: http://www.mymcpnews.com/2014/08/22/...ersburg-man-2/

More information: http://www.times-news.com/news/artic...9bb2963f4.html

I have attached the flyer we are trying to circulate far and wide. Please feel free to print it and distribute. If anyone sees him, please call: 301-279-8000.

Thank you!

Wow, that is sad..

Still odd that he was "near the car" after checking into a motel hours after leaving home. And cause of death up in the air. Sure it's probably injuries from accident or accident from medical emergency. Odd.
