A Pasco family is asking for help finding a father of seven who vanished after driving away from his house Monday evening.
Christopher Jolley, 51, left home in Pasco in his work truck about 5:45 p.m., said his wife, Stephanie Jolley. He left behind his cellphone and didn’t take much in the way in cash.
Normally, he would have returned after an hour or two, but now it’s been two days, and he hasn’t shown up for work, either.
His wife is asking for anyone who has seen him to contact Pasco police.
“Chris is a creature of habit,” she told the Tri-City Herald. “He literally left with nothing but his wallet and keys. He wouldn’t disappear like this.”
She said it’s extremely unusual for him to be gone for more than 14 hours without contacting her.
The couple have been married for more than 20 years and have seven grown children and five grandchildren, including a 15-month-old granddaughter who lives with them.
He wouldn’t let his children worry like that, his wife said.
“Chris is the world’s most stable, loving, family guy. We are his whole world,” Stephanie Jolley said. “He just wouldn’t torment all of us this way. He would know everyone would be hysterical without him.”
He was last seen driving a white 2004 Ford F-150 with Oregon license plate 567EHB and the company name “Orrco” on the side.
His employer, an oil recycling company, has seen no sign of the company cards being used.
He is described as being 5-foot-8, 235 pounds, with blond hair, hazel eyes and a graying beard. He was last seen wearing khaki cargo pants, tan boots, a gray hoodie with blue graphics and a navy blue beanie.
Pasco police have confirmed that a report has been filed, and that Jolley is listed as missing.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Pasco police through the non-emergency dispatch number at 509-628-0333.
