Wayne Nathaniel Umble, a 36-year-old man from Jane Lew, West Virginia, has been missing since the summer of 2021. His family and local authorities are reaching out to the public for assistance in locating him.

On Wednesday, August 18, 2021, at approximately 4:30 p.m., Umble left his home on foot, and this marked the last time he was seen. He is legally blind and is believed to be grappling with diabetic complications. Desperation surrounds his disappearance, as his family and law enforcement are determined to bring him home.

Vital Information

Wayne Nathaniel Umble is described as a white male, 5 feet 10 inches tall, and weighing approximately 180 pounds. He has brown hair and striking blue eyes. On the day he went missing, Umble was wearing a blue shirt, blue jeans, and black shoes. Notably, he has a dragon tattoo on his right calf, a tattoo on his left forearm reading "Jada Rayne" accompanied by footprints, and a lip piercing.

According to his sister, Umble has a history of wandering off, typically returning within a few hours or days. His preferred walks often take him along the nearby railroad tracks, occasionally leading him to the neighboring towns of Weston and Clarksburg. Importantly, he does not have a cell phone or any identification with him.

Exhaustive Search Efforts

The Lewis County Sheriff’s Department immediately initiated search operations upon receiving the report of Umble's disappearance. Utilizing dogs, drones, and helicopters, they scoured the surrounding areas in search of any clues or leads. Additionally, they reached out to law enforcement agencies in West Virginia and neighboring states to inquire about potential sightings or interactions with Umble.

Urgent Plea for Information

The family of Wayne Nathaniel Umble is facing unimaginable distress and is fervently seeking the safe return of their loved one. They have set up a Facebook page titled "Help Find Wayne Nathaniel Umble" to provide updates and share photographs of him. Flyers and banners have been distributed throughout the county and adjacent areas, aiming to raise awareness about Umble's disappearance.

In their unwavering pursuit of answers, Umble's family has offered a $5,000 reward for any information leading to his whereabouts. They remain hopeful that someone will recognize him and assist him in reconnecting with his family.

Umble's sister described him as a kind and gentle soul who has a deep affinity for animals and music. The concern for his well-being is taking an immense toll on his parents, siblings, nieces, nephews, and friends. Their message to the public is clear: "We just want him back. We love him so much, and we are worried sick about him. We don't know if he is alive or dead, if he is hurt or hungry, if he is cold or scared. We don't know what he is going through or where he is. We just want to know that he is OK and that we can help him." The family is urging anyone with information about Umble’s whereabouts to contact the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office at (304) 269-8251.

The clock is ticking, and the search for Wayne Nathaniel Umble continues, with the hope that one lead will bring him back to his loved ones.
