ALBANY, GA -- An Albany man, who was missing since Friday, has been found.

He contacted his family via Facebook shortly after 4:00 p.m., according to his mother, Judy Griffin. He told them he was in north Georgia with a friend, but did not say what he was doing there, or why he left without notice.

James Griffin, 38, is a white male from the Albany. He has small mole on his left cheek. He has brown hair, brown eyes and is 5'11'.

His mother, Judy Griffin, said she last saw her son late Thursday night, and his father last saw him early Friday morning. He was wearing blue jeans and either a maroon or gray pullover shirt.

She said he was seen a few hours later at Wilson Insurance Agency on Palmyra Road getting out of a white SUV with tinted windows. Griffin said she does not know of anyone who has a similar vehicle. She said he mentioned a trip while he was at the insurance office, but she said it is unusual for him to go on a trip without first letting her know

She has called about 100 of James' friends, and they haven't seen or heard from him either. She is unable to reach his cell phone because it was broken at the time he went missing.

If you have seen James, please call the Albany Police Department at 229-431-2100.
