James Lamar Tidwell, 58, was last seen by his wife Feb. 24, according to the Henderson Police Department.
Police conducted a welfare check at Tidwell’s home Feb. 28 at the request of his employer, Flanders Electric. His wife then reported last seeing him four days earlier.
Tidwell’s truck was found about eight miles from his home on Texas 315 and FM 95 in Rusk County.
