A Georgia man, last seen just outside of DeKalb County, is now a missing person. The man, Vincent McKeever Rossetti, 22, of Peach City, GA was last seen wearing a maroon button up shirt, blue jeans, black shoes, blueish green jacket when he left GA on December 17th. He is 6’2”, weighs 180 pounds, had blue eyes, blonde hair and wears glasses.

At 3:05 pm on Sunday evening December 18, the Tennessee Highway Patrol checked on a vehicle that was parked on the side of the roadway in White County close to the DeKalb County/White County line. The driver was found to be Vincent McKeever Rossetti. Rossetti was entered into the Georgia Crime Information Center as missing person out of Georgia. The Trooper called an ambulance to the scene to check Rossetti out. White County EMS transported Rossetti to Highland Medical Center in Sparta. One of the White County EMS personnel drove Rossetti’s vehicle to the hospital for him. Rossetti was treated and released from the hospital before his family could pick him up. When Rossetti’s family arrived at the Hospital, the White County Sheriff’s Department issued a BOLO (Be on the lookout) on Rossetti to all law enforcement agencies. 

 At around 11:52 pm on Sunday night, Troopers from the Tennessee Highway Patrol found the vehicle in the parking lot of Sligo Marina. The vehicle was left unattended and Rossetti was nowhere to be found.  A ground search was conducted by officers from the Tennessee Highway Patrol and the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department. The DeKalb County Rescue Squad was summoned to Sligo Marina at 8:00 am Monday morning to perform searches of the bank and water. Officers with the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency and the Corps of Engineers from Center Hill Lake also assisted.
