Distinguishing Characteristics: Scars, Marks, Tattoos: Caucasian male. Combs’s nickname is Jeff. He has a tattoo of barbed wire around his upper right arm/upper left arm, bulldog with name (Combs?) and he has gaps in his teeth. He had a stroke about four months before his disappearance; as a result he lost use of his left arm, and can use only three fingers on his right hand. He had a mustache at the time of his disappearance. He may spell his middle name “Lane.”
Details of Disappearance: Combs was last seen in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina on October 23, 2008. He disappeared while his mother was at work. Combs used a scooter to get around. He left a note at home, saying someone had broken into the house and stolen his scooter, two helmets and his cellular phone, and he was going to find the thief. He asked his mother to look for him if he wasn’t home by dark. Combs’s mother came home from work at 11:30 a.m. and found the note. She spent the next day and night looking for him. At some point while she was out of the house, Combs apparently came home and changed clothes, taking a camouflage-print jacket when he left. His mother came home and found his wet, dirty clothes on the floor and pork chops cooking on the stove. She never saw or heard from her son again.
