Fliers plastered in Volusia County ask for help in finding a man who investigators say hasn’t been seen for more than a week.

Joshua Redding, 24, was last seen at his Osteen house more than a week ago and was reported missing on Monday - his truck left in the driveway and cell phone in the house.

“You just pray that somebody may run across him and just see something and report it to give us something to go on,” said Redding’s mother, Tracey.

Redding is bi-polar and does not have his medication with him, something that not only concerns his family but also investigators.

“That also ratchets up our concern level. That’s why we want to find him and bring him home safe and sound to his family to make sure he gets the attention and care that needs,” said Gary Davidson with the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office.

Redding served in the Army, loves to hunt and loves to play the guitar – taking it with him wherever he went, even up the road to get gas.

He was last seen wearing blue jeans, a dark t-shirt and brown cowboy boots. He has a tattoo of “MawMaw” on his left bicep.

At this point investigators do not believe foul play is involved, but have been searching throughout Volusia County in wooded areas and fields. The family will search on ATVs and horseback throughout the weekend.

Messages and pages on Facebook and community support is what is helping the family get through each day – a printing company even donated more than 2,000 fliers.

“They went above and beyond,” said Tracey Redding. “People that I know, people I don’t know, people that are close to Josh that I have never met.” She added her son is a survivor and that’s what she’s holding on to.

At 9 A.M. on Saturday the family has asked the public to attend a search for Joshua through nearby woods and fields in Osteen. The public is asked to bring ATVs and vehicles that may help in the search. 

The search location is 190 11th Ave. in Osteen.
