(KAIR)--The search continued Wednesday for a man missing in Jefferson County since the night of August 30, with numerous agencies, including those from neighboring counties, along with volunteers, searching the area where Patrick Anno Crim was last seen.

The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office says 34-year-old Patrick Crim disappeared after last being seen that night around 9:45 while attending the ABATE Bike Rally at Paradise Point, near Ozawkie.

That location, Jefferson County Emergency Manager Keith Jeffers says, was searched Wednesday, with a release from Jeffers saying despite the effort, Crim remains missing.

According to the release, "Jefferson County Emergency Management along with the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - Perry Lake Project, the Kansas Wildlife and Parks - Perry State Park Rangers and Fire Districts from Winchester (District 10), Fairview (District 6), Grantville (District 1), Ozawkie (District 7) and Meriden (District 5) and Jefferson County Public Health worked together to conduct a comprehensive search of the large area."

Others included with assisting the search, which utilized the use of drones, dogs, and boats, were Atchison County Emergency Management, Atchison County EMS, the Kansas Search and Rescue Dog Association, known as KSARDA and lead by Dr. Lillian Lockwood, and more than 40 other volunteers who walked the area looking for Crim.

Despite the search effort, which began Wednesday morning, Crim was not located, with the release saying the search was called off at 5:00 Wednesday evening by Jefferson County Sheriff Jeff Herrig and Jeffers.

The search efforts will continue, the release explains, with "the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department Detectives doing additional investigations with family and friends" of Crim.

Crim, who is white, was last seen wearing a tan t-shirt, black shorts, white socks, and slide on sandals. He may have been wearing a ballcap and carrying a silver flashlight. Crim was not in possession of his wallet, and his cellphone does not answer, meaning it's either turned off or has a dead battery.

Anyone who has additional information regarding the whereabouts of Crim, or has seen him since Saturday, is asked to contact the Jefferson County Sheriff Department at the 9-1-1 Dispatch office at 785-863-2351.
