WBTV reported Donlevy had last been seen near Sardis Road in the vicinity of McAlpine Creek, prompting a response from emergency services early yesterday morning.

Firefighters set up a command post at the McAlpine Creek Greenway parking lot and, along with other units, searched the area for Donlevy.
