The whereabouts of Elba businessman Pete Cash remains a mystery. Local and state authorities continue to compare notes in hopes of finding him alive.

Pete Cash has not been seen since shortly after 7 a.m. Monday morning. Authorities believe he was last on Highway 189, just south of Elba.

He was driving a silver 2007 Chevy Tahoe with an Auburn University tag, the number 85A2l.

Authorities say they have credible witness statements that Cash was last seen driving his truck near the Shiloh Baptist Church sign on Highway 189, often referred to as the Elba-Kinston Highway.

"We have been conducting a number of ground searches, going down creeks and rivers, and trying to follow dirt tracks on dirt roads. Looking for a clue to what might have happened," said Chief Deputy Ronnie Whitworth with Coffee Co. Sheriff's Dept.

With help from the dale county sheriff's department helicopter, authorities continue to do an aerial search for Cash.

Authorities stress, if you see Cash or know his whereabouts you should contact your nearest law enforcement agency.
