He also wears a St. Christopher pendant necklace, a diamond-studded earring in his left ear and an AEP one year anniversary bracelet.

Charles Ray Denny has been missing since Saturday, and now his loved ones are searching for answers.
Story by Shane Irwin


Point Pleasant -- Family and loved ones have searched, and asked for any information from the public, but still don't know what happened to Charles Denny. He's been missing for almost four days now, and today, they gathered to honor their friend, and ask the public for help. Charles Ray Denny was last seen on Saturday, and hasn't been heard from since.
"My first thoughts was, maybe he went out on a country road and wrecked. I mean, you don't know and he's over a hill somewhere. That was my first thoughts and now, we've searched so much that I'm not, I'm not even sure now at this point, what happened," Charles' sister, April Denny-McCoy said.
The 31 year old spoke to his 10 year old son Chase Friday, and told him to call him on Saturday morning to go ATV riding. Chase called and left messages, but never heard back from his dad.
"He doesn't know, he doesn't understand what's going on. He doesn't understand why, if he's ok, why he's not calling and saying, hey I'm ok. Just, I need some time, if that's all he wants, if that's all he needs, just some time, if he could just call and say he's all right, that would be great," said Chase's mother and Charles' ex-wife, Brook Capp.
"Once was lost, but now..."
The crowd sang amazing grace, lit candles, and spoke about Charles. His dad, just wants to know he's okay.
"If he's out there, I pray that he's alive, and I hope he comes back home. I can only hope and pray that he's out there, somewhere alive," said Charles Ray Denny's father, Charles Denny.
Family and friends say it wouldn't be like Denny to just leave and not tell anyone, especially now because his mother hasn't been in the best of health. All that's left for the family now is to hold out hope...they ask anyone with information on the whereabout of Charles, to call the Mason county Sheriff's department at 304-675-3838.

I didn't realize his phone died at first. So that rules out finding pings I guess. I hope they've talked to all of his friends and people at the places he liked to hang out.
