Four years after a Casey County man went missing without a trace, investigators are still trying to piece together what happened.
The last time Charles Randolph was seen at his home was October 2009. As the autumn weather comes around once more, Randolph’s disappearance remains a mystery to the family he left behind.
“I just wait every day and think maybe I’ll hear something,” says Emogene Randolph, Charles’ mother.

Charles was just 55-years-old when he went missing. Several months later, investigators started looking at it as a homicide investigation. His mother says the one last thing she wants is to find her son. “Somebody knows something. If they just come forward, they don’t have to give their names. They can tell what they know, and we can find out something. That’s what I want to do before I’m gone, and I’m 93 years old.”
Earlier this year investigators submitted several DNA samples for testing in hopes they will provide a clue as to how Charles vanished. They say they’re still waiting on results from that testing. The DNA was retrieved from the car Randolph was last seen in.
The family is still offering a $10,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest in relation to his whereabouts. “We’d see him pretty often every time we’d come passing by, and he would come over to our house, because my husband was sick at the same time that he left,” says Freda Elmore, Charles’ sister.
Randolph is still classified as a missing person. Investigators don’t know if he was murdered or not but they say they’re keeping an open mind until he’s found.
Deputies say they continue to receive tips and interview those who may have information on Randolph’s disappearance. If you have any information, call the Casey County Sheriff’s Department.
