Wesley Ridge

Ridge, 39 when he was last seen on March 8, 2016, had most recently lived at a home near Hales Bar Marina on U.S. Highway 41. Ridge had worked at Valmont Industries in Jasper. During the initial investigation, a female friend told authorities that Ridge walked into his home and then left in a car with another man. That man told investigators he had given Ridge a ride to a bar in nearby Jasper, but no one at the bar remembered seeing him, authorities said in 2016.
