Missing Gilmer County man
GILMER COUNTY, Ga. - An Ellijay family is desperately searching for their loved one.
Tom Jones hasn't been seen or heard from in four days. He left work to run an errand, and check out a hot tub, but he never returned. His family said he wouldn't just leave and they're worried he could be hurt.
The last time Leticia Jones saw her husband was Friday at 10 a.m. He was walking out the door to go meet someone about possibly buying a hot tub, and he had to go to Norcross that day to purchase some chemicals and filters for his store. But he never came back.

"I knew something was wrong when he didn't come to the store and I kept texting him. What's wrong honey? Where are you at? No response," said Leticia Jones.
Jones said Tom never made it to the store in Norcross. As to who her husband was meeting, she doesn't know. She's combed over call logs at the store, but still no answers. And she believes this person could have information she needs to find her husband.
"The person my husband was going to meet Friday needs to come forward and let us know so we can find him. What location they were at, if he made it there," said Jones.
Jones said her husband was just looking at the hot tub, and he didn't have cash on him to purchase one. She doesn't believe her husband just walked out on the family.
"He's a good man. He cares about people. He loves his family," said Jones.
But she also doesn't know what happened.
"You can speculate or worry. I just don't know, I don't know, I just don't know," said Jones.
The Gilmer County Sheriff's Office is looking for Jones and his 2015 Dodge ram 1500 Crew Cab truck. There's a metal tool box in the back, with a Georgia Tag, QAZ 3442.
Investigators do not suspect foul play.
