C&P from EC Leader-News website:
Updated 2:02 p.m. Monday - A public plea is going out to help find missing polka band leader and KULP radio personality Bobby Jones. Jones hasn’t been seen since early Saturday morning or possibly Friday night.
His last known contact with anyone was at 10:30 p.m. Friday when he made a phone call from his home, according to investigators. Jones had reportedly attempted to cancel two weekend performances of the Bobby Jones Czech band, one in Sealy and another in Edna. His band reportedly played both without him.
Jones' car, a red 1993 Chevrolet Lumina, with license plate Texas F37-YHR is missing, but there was reportedly no sign of foul play at his CR 167 home. The Wharton County Sheriff’s Department is treating the case as a missing person welfare concern.
Anyone with factual information or who has seen Jones or his vehicle since Friday night should contact the Wharton Sheriff's Office at 543-1373 or 532-1550.
Look for continuing developments on this Web site and in the upcoming Wednesday edition of your El Campo Leader-News.

i was hoping to wake up to good news this morning, but none so far
from the above post, if he were trying to cancel 2 shows maybe, just maybe he was planning on getting out of town for awhile......everybody need's a break sometime, hopefully that's what he was trying to do..................but it does seem strange that he didn't contact his band or his job and let them know

I did see that they reported on it on channel 26 news this morning and have also been hearing it on KILT announced a few times already this morning. At least its finally made some of the news stations so they can post the pic as well.

I always try to catch the early morning news starting at 5. I like to compare what we hear on one channel with another.. I watched 26 and 2 today.. will do 13 and 11 tomorrow.. for the national and world news, it's all written by the same guy no matter which channel you're on

y'all think positive now... I bet he just hit the Wednesday nite lotto and he's been in Austin collecting his money... and now on his way to Vegas... positive thoughts...!!! This is not aimed at itchy, I do not know him personally, and actually was not sure who you were talking about with the original thread. As shared by someone else, perhaps he just wanted to take a break. I certainly pray that is the case. I hope for his safe return for his friends and family.

did he have any health problems at all? Maybe altzheimers that no one knew about or anything? I know he's young but if i remember correctly the same thing happened to a man in washington state area. He walked out of the house to get something from the drug store and didn't return for 3 months and didn't remember a bit of the adventure.

I just can not get him off of my mind since I heard he was missing. Like everyone else I pray for a safe return. I keep hoping this will be a case like the runaway bride, Bobby can be the runaway DJ. My thoughts are also with his co-workers at KULP. I am sure it is not easy for them to carry on day to day but they are doing a fine job.

That is what KULP had just said on their news broadcast, they were interviewing one of the deputies, Marek, basically they are trying but with the river being so high it is making it almost impossible. They have the highway dept there also, I did not catch the location. I have heard from a couple of individuals Los Cucos area,I could have missed that but did not hear it on the radio.

Was @ Los Cucos for lunch everything looked like it always does there @ lunchtime. Went by on my way back from EC around 3:30 and there's Crime Scene tape up all along the parking lot on the right side of Cucos AND there are news trucks there.
Seems like a river search would have been more doable closer to when this happened. The river hasn't gotten any lower or slower since Saturday. I hope nobody's hurt or killed trying to search the river.
I'm keepin my happy thoughts. I heard he's got "people" that live out of state. I hope he's with them.
