The search resumed Saturday morning for a missing Volusia County man who investigators say hasn’t been seen for more than a week.
Searchers have looked in area woods and fields, but have not located 24-year-old Joshua Redding.
Friday night, Redding’s family stopped by local businesses and posted fliers of the Osteen man on doors and in windows.
He was last seen at his house Friday, Jan. 9 and reported missing Monday, Jan. 12. Redding’s truck and cell phone were left in the driveway.
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.
His mother Tracey Redding Sauls said her son is bipolar and does not have his medication, which concerns his family and investigators.
However, the family remains hopeful.
“My stepdad says he knows [Davey’s] schedule and he’ll be home,” Redding Sauls said. “He’ll walk right through that door and I have been thinking about that over and over in my head.”
Redding's family is asking for the public's help in searching this weekend.
Volunteers were asked to bring ATVs or other vehicles that may help in the search.
