At four o'clock Monday morning, Earl Davis's family was driving the streets of Fort Worth looking for any trace of their father.
"Shocked. We don't know what to think. I think we're all just numb," says Terry Craig, daughter.
The World War II veteran of the U.S. Navy is a father of four and a creature of habit. He went to Larry's 7 & 10 Grocery, about half a mile from his home, everyday for twelve years to buy lottery tickets. He was there October 7.
"They said he came in, he got his little tickets, his little scratch-offs and they do remember seeing him leave the store. They do remember seeing him drive off," says Craig.
But that's the last anyone saw of Earl Davis.
Family members say he was of sound mind, but did have a heart condition. Haltom City police say they have delivered his picture to every hospital in the area.
Still, nothing.
"We've exhausted all of our leads," says Corp. Joe Hackfeld, Haltom City Police Department.
"We've got he and the car entered in our computer system as missing, and we just don't know where else to look," says Hackfeld.
It's frustrating for police and the family who are still holding out hope he'll be found safe, but beginning to fear the worst.
"We're concerned now that there's some sort of foul play. We don't know what to do," says Terry.
Earl Davis is 85 years old. He was last seen wearing a blue, button-down shirt with a collar, blue jeans and black leather velcro shoes. He walks with a cane or a crutch. He was driving a white, 1996 Oldsmobile 98 with TX plates 8FHYZ.
Anyone with information should call Haltom City Police: (817) 222-7000
The family is offering a $10k reward for his safe return.
