Deputies say this could be a life-or-death situation for a local father from Lamar County. Roderick Crawford seemingly vanished last Friday after driving to work to check his schedule. "When he left he told the boys – they have three boys – he said 'I’m gonna be right back. I’m going to check the work schedule,'" family member Gloria Baker told FOX 5. He never returned home. Lamar County Sheriff investigators say the 46-year-old did call his wife Friday night, like most nights when she was getting off work. But this time they didn’t connect. “He usually calls her because she has a long commute back home. She said she had missed it. She got off at 7:20. He called at 7:19 and no more phone calls,” said Baker. Investigators say within half an hour or so Crawford’s phone was pinged in Thomason in Upson County about 15 miles from his home. Then Tuesday, investigators say they found his SUV abandoned in Clayton County. #roderickcrawford #findourmissing #findourmissingnc #findourmissingpoc #barnesvillega #Georgia **Full story Fox 5 Atlanta** https://www.instagram.com/p/BsMVCdqHTrz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vs07orb1d5ao
