Police need your help in finding a missing man from Lawrence County, KY.

The Lawrence County Sheriff’s Office says 29-year old Joseph “Tommy” Spurlock went missing December 14.

The sheriff says Spurlock called his wife that day around 1:45pm to say he was at a Paintsville motel waiting on a ride. Earlier that day, he told his grandmother that he had to meet someone at the foothills substation in Fallsburg for a ride.

Family members reported him missing on January 8

Sheriff Garrett Roberts tells wsaz.com that Spurlock checked into a Lexington hospital Sunday night to be treated for a gum disease. Roberts says he then spent Monday night at a church shelter in Lexington.

Spurlock is 5’6”, 165 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes. He has tattoo of an eagle on his right upper arm. The sheriff told a local newspaper that Spurlock has 2 missing front teeth the result of fight that happened in Portsmouth, OH. He also says that Spurlock is employed as a fiber-optics installer, which takes him to numerous cities around the country.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the sheriff at 606-638-4368

There still has been nothing.... We are praying that he will come home soon, if not to come home but to call someone, but he only knew very few family members numbers. If anyone can help in anyway please... His son needs his daddy back!
