A Wilson County man, missing since Aug. 8, is still unaccounted for, and his family is desperately searching for information concerning his whereabouts.
David Riemens, 60, an Watertown artist and stone mason, went missing shortly after noon that Wednesday.
Relatives said Riemens went to meet an unknown man concerning a stone mason job.
His vehicle was found later in the parking lot of the Dollar General Store in Watertown.
No sign of Riemens, nor the man he was supposed to have been meeting, have been found since.
The man Riemens was to meet was purportedly in his 70s, and had arranged the meeting to take Riemens to meet a contractor to discuss the construction of a stone foundation for a home, possibly being built for the man’s son or daughter and spouse.
The possible location of the construction site is unknown.
Riemens’ brother and sister, Jim Riemens and Wanda Bush of Michigan, have come to Wilson County, and are attempting to get the word out about the missing man.
Jim Riemens said that while he was thankful for all the help the family has received in their search, the efforts have not been fruitful so far.
"First we want to thank the community for their efforts so far," Jim Riemens said. "Everyone's searching, but we still don't have anything to go on."
He said that his theory is that David Riemens was picked up at the Dollar General Store to ride to an unknown job site.
It seems, however, that Riemens told no one who he was to meet or where they were going.
Other than the fact that Riemens was seen inside the Dollar General store buying a bottle of water, no evidence of his whereabouts has been uncovered since.
There is apparently no concrete evidence to prove who he left with, if anyone, or where the supposed building site may have been.
"If we could find out who the second person is, it could give us a direction to search in," said Regimens brother.
The family hopes to locate someone who saw David at the store, or witnessed him or getting into a vehicle with someone.
Riemens reportedly has no history of mental illness or drug abuse, and the family can find no reason for his disappearance.
His brother said that the family has no reason to believe Riemens was a victim of foul play, and the fear is that he may have been involved in an car accident.
With no clue as to where he was going, or who he left the parking lot with, authorities have no idea where to begin looking.
His sister voiced fears that something has gone terribly awry, or Regimens would have alerted someone to his location.
"If David was alright we would have heard from him by now," Bush said.
According to the family, Riemens has been a Watertown resident for 20 years and is well-known and well-liked in the community.
Riemens lives on the farm of Dr. Donald and Laurel Neuessle, who are also  doing everything they can to assist with the search, including manning a phone line dedicated to information about the missing man.
Any information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, is welcome in the case.
Anyone who may have seen Riemens that afternoon, whether at the store or otherwise, or anyone who has information about who he was meeting or where they may have been headed, is asked to call the Wilson County Sheriff's Department at 615-444-1412, the Watertown Police Department at 615-237-3326 or the dedicated hotline at 615-237-9099.
