The family of Kevin McLeod, who's been missing for weeks, is asking for help as the search for him continues. His car and service dog were found abandoned at the Chattahoochee I-10 rest area.
The Florida Highway Patrol said it's near mile marker 161 and there are multiple FHP troopers, an aircraft and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement searching for McLeod, who is from Panama City Beach. He is between 50 and 55 years old.
According to FHP, he's been missing for a couple of weeks.
FHP states they found his car abandoned at the rest area and someone found his service dog nearby and used a chip to indicate it belongs to McLeod.
