Charles Hosch has not been seen since last Tuesday. Julia Hosch-Singh, his daughter, said Union County, Ga. authorities spoke with someone who had timestamped the 67-year-old on a trail in northern Georgia on Veterans' Day.

"There was someone on the trail with Dad who had an extended conversation with Dad and provided that information to the sheriff's office, and provided enough information that the sheriff's office credibly believes that it was Dad. And that gives us a timestamp of a place that Dad was on the trail at 1:30 on Tuesday."

According to an update on the webpage from the law firm her father cofounded, Hosch & Morris, Hosch hiked the Byron Herbert Reece Trail, where he reached the top of Blood Mountain on the Appalachian Trail. His loved ones said it's a route he knew well.
