Details of Disappearance

Ridge was last seen in Jasper, Tennessee on March 8, 2016. His cellular phone was used that afternoon, and there hasn't been any activity since.

A female friend stated he walked into his home, then left in a vehicle with a male coworker. The man said he gave Ridge a ride to Ronnie’s Red Eye Tavern, but this hasn't been confirmed and no one at the bar remembered having seen him that day.

Ridge's uncle, a pawnshop owner, was robbed and murdered on May 17, 2016, and his pawnshop set on fire. Two months later, authorities arrested a woman in his death, and she was later found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison plus eighty years. Investigators don't believe Ridge's disappearance is related to his uncle's murder.

At the time of his disappearance, Ridge was living near Hales Bar Marina on U.S. Highway 41 just outside of Guild, Tennessee, and worked at Valmont Industries in Jasper. His case remains unsolved.
