The truck was spotted in a small town in southern Illinois near Mount Vernon.
“They sent out these flyers out to the post office and a guy at the post office said he saw the truck the day before,” she said.
The police are investigating the man’s claim and checking the area, she said.
“The police will check out the report and get back to us,” Super said.
Encie Super said she got the call from the Mount Vernon police about 4 p.m. yesterday.
She and her husband, Dennis, met with the private detective yesterday concerning the disappearance of Super, 57, Cove, Ark., who has been missing since Friday, July 13.
She said the detective would start combing the area for clues to the man’s disappearance.
“It is not usual for him, it just isn’t making sense,” she said.
Super is a native of Amherst. He is a diabetic and Encie Super believes he may have had a diabetic seizure.
“We want him home, we miss him and we really think he might be in medical distress,” she said.
Super is driving a maroon-colored 2000 Ford F-350 truck with Arkansas plates, AR 216-JDE.
Those with information about Super’s whereabouts should contact the Mount Vernon, Ill., police department at (618) 242-2131.
