(Boone County, Ky.) - There's no word yet on the whereabouts of a missing Boone County man. 

The Boone County Sheriff's Office says Earl "Josh" Callen, 39, was last seen Sunday, December 30 at home on Lower River Road in Union. 

Callen reportedly had a psychotic episode and ran into the woods near his home. 

"A report was not immediately made upon Callen’s departure from his residence because it is not uncommon for him to spend an extended period of time in the woods, and most who knew him believed that he would reappear at some point. A report was made by family members after no contact could be made with Callen for more than 24 hours. Callen had left his dog at the residence along with his cell phone, two things that are very uncommon for him," according to the sheriff's office.

Callen is a 5'11" white man with long brown hair, a beard and a tattoo of Jesus on his chest.

Callen has been entered into the NCIC nationwide database as an Endangered Missing Adult. Anybody who may see him or know his whereabouts is urged to call 911.
