Red Rabbit Report post Posted September 18, 2009 Upated info from Don: OK, here is where we are at. Larry spoke to several folks on Friday the 11th. One was Jim Mahac and around 3 p.m. he spoke with his son Kevin. He told Kevin he was about 20 miles from Socorro( SP?) He was suppose to pick up his hunters at 5 p.m. at the airport in Socorro and never showed. So they know the time element that he went missing is from 3-5 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 11th. A lady whose husband has worked for Larry saw his vehicles ( both of them) in the parking lot of Safeway in Holbrook on Monday, Sept. 14th. She thought it strange he was there so she tried to text Larry. Subsequently she got a call from Larry's office saying he was missing so she turned around and went back. The vehicles were gone, and she didn't see anyone around them. A check of the store's inside surveillance revealed nothing. Too bad of quality to make out anything or anyone. No outside store surveillance. Lady is absolutely sure it was Larry's two rigs, still hooked up. So that's all we know as of right now. By the way, the contacts for investigators on this matter is Sgt. Jason Lurkins, Coconino S.O 928-310-8889, and Det. Larry Thomas 928-226-5032. The vehicle info for Larry's truck is a 2005 Ford F-250 Super Duty, diesel, dark gray, with AZ license plates CD-32204. Thanks for all the help guys, I know it doesn't look good at this point, but we got to keep trying. Don Martin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coues7 Report post Posted September 18, 2009 Thanks for the update. This is a really sad deal. Let's hope we can get Larry back home SAFE. Has anyone asked any of the news stations in the Socorro or Holbrook areas to get involved. In driving through those areas the radio sucks but the TV may be the ticket. Any way we can get the word out would be great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
