CLAY FISHERMAN HAS DISAPPEARED - Police Asking For Help

(10/29/2003)
State Police are asking for help in finding a missing Indiana man last seen in Clay County.

Sixty-seven-year-old Herb Wetzel of Martinsville, Indiana, was last seen in the Ivydale area early Sunday morning, after he told his wife he was going fishing.

He has not been seen since.

Wetzel planned to fish in the Elk River near Strange Creek in Braxton County.

Wetzel suffers from mini-seizures that make him incoherent for short periods. His wife says the seizures have become more intense in the last few weeks.

Wetzel is a white male, five feet eight inches and about 170 pounds, balding with gray hair on the sides. He was last seen wearing blue jeans and a green jacket.

He was driving a blue 2000 Chevy Venture van with Indiana dealer tag 4-6-5-M-7.

Anyone with information is urged to call the State Police in Clay at 304-587-2201.
