Suffolk police searching for missing man

December 8, 2008

Suffolk Police are looking for Corey Eugene Lynch, a 50-year-old man who disappeared from his home on Desert Road late Sunday night and has not been seen since, said city spokeswoman Debbie George.

Lynch was wearing a black leather jacket with a large eagle on the back, tan pants and boots when he left the house in the 4300 block of Dessert Road at 11 p.m., potentially to go for a walk, George said. She said that Lynch’s family started looking for him about 1 a.m. but were unsuccessful. They called police at 9:30 this morning.

George said that Lynch has no physical or mental health issues that might have played an issue in his failure to return home Sunday night. Desert Road is located in the southwestern section of the city, not far from the North Carolina state line.

Anyone with information should contact the Suffolk Police at 757-923-2350 and press 0.

Missing man found near home
By R.E. Spears (Contact) | Suffolk News-Herald

Published Tuesday, December 9, 2008

A man who had been missing from his Desert Road home since he left for a walk around 11 p.m. Sunday was found early Tuesday afternoon, sitting on a log in the woods nearby.

A volunteer canine search team found 50-year-old Corey Eugene Lynch about a half-mile deep into the woods near his house, in an area that had been searched multiple times by dogs and other rescue workers, according to Suffolk spokesperson Debbie George.

Lynch, a resident of the 4300 block of Desert Road, “suffered no apparent injuries or ill effects from his time in the woods,” George said on Tuesday. He refused medical treatment from his rescuers.

George said that Lynch told emergency officials he had become disoriented after leaving his house Sunday night and that he had covered himself in leaves and spent the next two nights “wait(ing) it out” in the woods.

His family initially searched for him and then called police early on Monday to report his disappearance.

Suffolk’s search and rescue team then moved into action. By 1:30 a.m. Tuesday, when it was temporarily halted, the search effort had expanded to include 100 searchers, four helicopters, infrared imaging systems and several paid and volunteer canine/handler teams “from all across Virginia,” George said.

The search began again at 8 a.m. on Tuesday. Lynch was found just before 1 p.m., George said.

“The response was just tremendous,” she said. “It was a sight to behold.”

Suffolk’s search-and-rescue team, in particular, deserved praise for its work, she said.

“The search-and-rescue team is phenomenal. The dedication they put in whenever there is an incident like this is something to see.”
