'We're not sure what happened': Family searches multiple states for missing Alabama man

AWAITING CHARGES. AT THIS POINT. ONE ALABAMA FAMILY IS ASKING FOR YOUR HELP IN FINDING THEIR LOVED ONE. A FATHER AND ENTREPRENEUR HAS BEEN MISSING SINCE MID DECEMBER. WVTM 13 S BRYCE OSELEN JOINS US LIVE. BRYCE, WHAT IS THE FAMILY SAYING ABOUT THIS CASE? YEAH, THE FAMILY IS SEARCHING FOR RONALD DUMAS JR. THEIR REPRESENTATIVE SAYS HE DISAPPEARED WITHIN THE BLINK OF AN EYE. SO IT SEEMS LIKE MR. DUMAS JUST VANISHED. RONALD DUMAS JR WAS LAST HEARD FROM ON DECEMBER 15TH, AND WAS BELIEVED TO BE IN THE HUNTSVILLE AREA. WE KNOW FROM AUTHORITIES THAT HIS CAR WAS FOUND ALONG I-40 IN TENNESSEE ON THE MORNING OF DECEMBER 16TH. HUNTSVILLE NATIVE DUMAS JR IS A BUSINESS OWNER AND FATHER. MEDIA REPRESENTATIVE TROY STYLES SAYS THE HOLIDAY SEASON HAS BEEN GLOOMY FOR THE DUMAS FAMILY. MR. DUMAS HAS THREE YOUNG CHILDREN AND HE SPENDS A LOT OF TIME WITH HIS HIS KIDS. THIS IS THE FIRST HOLIDAY THAT THEY’VE NOT HAD HIM IN THEIR FAMILY. AND SO THIS IS THIS HAS BEEN REALLY TOUGH. AND I DO THINK THE FAMILY IS LOSING. THEY’RE LOSING THEIR FOOTING A LITTLE BIT IN THIS CASE AT THIS TIME. AND THEY’VE JUST GROWN MORE AND MORE DESPERATE TO BRING HIM HOME. THE FAMILY HAS CONDUCTED MULTIPLE SEARCHES, BUT THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF DUMAS. WE’RE NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. LAW ENFORCEMENT SAYS THAT THEY HAVE FOUND NO INDICATION OF FOUL PLAY IN THIS CASE. HOWEVER, THE FAMILY FEELS VERY STRONGLY THAT FOUL PLAY IS INVOLVED. STEELE SAYS THE FAMILY IS PLEADING FOR INFORMATION THAT COULD LEAD TO HIS RETURN. WE’RE JUST ASKING ANYONE WHO MAY HAVE SEEN HIM THE NIGHT OF THE 15TH OR KNOWS WHO HE WAS WITH, TO PLEASE CONTACT HUNTSVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT OR TO REPORT THAT TO OUR CRIME DESK. A VIGIL IS SCHEDULED THIS WEEK IN HUNTSVILLE. THE FAMILY IS OFFERING A $4,500 REWARD FOR INFORMATION THAT COULD LEAD TO HIS APPEARANCE.
