According his family, Coleman was dropped off at the Wendy’s on Freedom Drive by a family member on Oct. 30 and he has not reached out to them since.

Family members went to the Wendy's on Saturday with flyers, hoping to find answers.

They then ventured into the woods near Coleman's parents’ house, hoping to find signs that led to him.

“We want to bring him home,” said Yolanda Crowder, Coleman’s niece. “It's been 18 days and we know someone knows something.”
