Editor's Note: Robert Hummel has been found. From a March 13 press release, a member of the public called in to report they had seen a person standing in the parking lot of Greig's Garage on Highway 21 last evening between 12 and 2 a.m. and it seemed unusual. Police checked and located Hummel sitting in one of the vehicles in the parking lot. He had an injury to the side of his face and was taken by ambulance to the Southampton Hospital. 

Thanks to all who assisted in this search, called in tips and checked their own properties. Here is a perfect example of members of the community pitching in to help.
