CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Police are calling a Charleston man's disappearance suspicious after finding his car and cellphone abandoned on a dead end street Thursday.
Robert "Bob" Kenneth Snow, 55, of 103 Arlington Ave., was last seen by relatives at about 4:30 p.m. Wednesday leaving the 7-11 on Washington Street West, where he works as a district manager, said Wendy Reynolds, his daughter.
He was then seen again at about 5:30 p.m. at the 7-11 on Bigley Avenue, when he checked on employees and bought some lottery tickets, Reynolds said.
At about 6:10 p.m. Wednesday, a co-worker called Snow's mother and said he failed to show up to a required district managers meeting.
He didn't show up at his girlfriend's house in South Charleston that night either, said Charleston Police Sgt. Bobby Eggleton.
Relatives filed a missing-person's report with the West Virginia State Police on Thursday morning. Eggleton said troopers asked him to track Snow's cellphone using triangulation software owned by the Charleston Police Department.
Detectives tracked the signal to a parking lot at the intersection of Pennsylvania Avenue and Westmoreland Drive in Dunbar. That's where they found Snow's car, with the cellphone inside, but no clues as to his whereabouts.
Police searched along the Elk River bank and looked down alleyways, but turned up nothing, Eggleton said.
Surveillance footage captured Snow's vehicle passing through the Go-Mart parking lot at about 6:35 p.m. Wednesday on Dunbar Avenue, about three blocks from where his car was found, Eggleton said. It was unclear who was driving the vehicle.
