VALDOSTA — Law enforcement officers continue to search for a man reportedly missing for several days.

Keith Allen Rocheleau, 47, was reported missing to the Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office on Friday, Aug. 7, according to reports. He was last seen by his parents on Tuesday, Aug. 4, at his residence on Barrett Lane in Lowndes County.

According to the Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office, “Keith Rocheleau lives on Barrett Lane by himself.

His parents, who live on Cooey Road in Brooks County, had gone out of town and left Rocheleau to watch their home.

When they returned, they discovered that his vehicle had been stuck in mud and abandoned.

Indications are that Rocheleau had attempted to free his vehicle by using his father’s vehicle. The father’s vehicle was found stuck and abandoned in the road ditch also on Cooey Road.”

All of Rocheleau’s medications, his cellular phone and other items were left behind.

Anyone with information about the whereabouts of Rocheleau is encouraged to call the Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office at (229) 671-2950.
