Fort Benning officials are asking for help in locating a soldier who went missing Sunday on his first Father’s Day as a dad.

“We are looking for information that would lead to the whereabouts of SPC Jared Ziehm,” the Benning-based 4th Ranger Training Battalion said in a Facebook posting late Sunday.

Maj. Gen. Patrick J. Donahoe also posted a call for help on Twitter:

According to Stars & Stripes, Ziehm went missing about 12:30 p.m. when he went to sign in for work, leaving his phone and wallet at home.

“He has yet to sign-in or be seen/heard from by anyone,” Gussy Ziehm wrote in a Facebook post. “He is in a 2008 red Corolla with black front/back bumpers. He’s in a green tie dye Helen shirt with flannel plush pajama pants.”

The vehicle’s license plate is AYT1142, she said. She had contacted his chain of command, Army Criminal Investigative Command, military police, local hospitals, jails, “any and everyone.”

Ziehm had his military ID card and withdrew about $200 from the couple’s joint account, she said.

“I am worried since it’s Jared’s first Father’s Day and we have plans today to celebrate but no one has seen him,” she wrote. “I’ve driven around for an hour and a half and his chain of command is also concerned.”
