Steven Larry Walker

DUNLAP, Tenn. - "Something is dreadfully wrong and we just want Steven, if he sees this to please call," says Ruby Cagle. It's a desperate plea from a mother on the edge of hope.

Cagle says she's hit walls in the search for her son, Steven Larry Walker, 39, who she hasn't seen or heard from in nearly a week. "The last time I spoke to my son was Tuesday, April 15," she says.

Later she heard Walker drove up to Cagle Mountain to go mudding in a rural and heavily wooded area near Cherry Branch Road. A family member later told her they received a text from Walker, "something about emergency, family member needs help," explains Cagle.
