Alex Johnson has been missing since Dec. 20 and his family and friends continue to raise awareness and keep his name and picture fresh with the area.
There’s already one billboard with the word “missing” outside of Lexington that was put up a few days ago. The family has also bought five more digital advertisements that will go up in high-traffic areas around Lexington.
The first billboard is located along Highway 27 near the Fayette-Jessamine County line. The first ad went up a few days after the first of the year.

“That’s why this is particular is so concerning because he’d enver miss holidays with his family,” Karen Sahetya, a friend of Johnson, said.
Sahetya describes the 32-year-old Johnson as caring, trusting and one who loves a good intellectual conversation.
“It’s really hard to guess what could have happened. He’s not the kind of guy that has enemies,” she added.
What is known about Johnson’s disappearance is that he was at his apartment on Dec. 20 on the phone with his girlfriend when there was a knock at his door. Johnson told her he’d call her back but never heard back from him.
No piece of information is too small Sahetya said. They believe someone out there knows something which is why the billboard went up to jog the memories of anyone who had driven by the sign.
“There’s lots of hope,” Sahetya said.
Along with the signs, a benefit and fundraiser is scheduled for Thursday night at the Lexington Mellow Mushroom from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m.
