State police troopers went to the home at 1229 Exchange Street Road after the couple's son, Douglas Mess, Jr., 29, reported that his father was missing. The younger Mess said that his dad had failed to show up to work on Monday morning and had not been seen since 8pm on Sunday. An air and ground search was carried out by the Wyoming County Sheriff's Office, local volunteer fire companies, friends and family members, and more than 25 members of the New York State Police, Trooper Victor Morales told DailyMail.com.
