NO SIGN OF FRED HILL - Kanawha Man Still Missing After Gilmer Disappearance

(01/18/2010)

It is more than a month since the disappearance of a Charleston man after he left a bar in Glenville. Basil Fred Hill, 29 (pictured left) was last seen at Trezan's Restaurant Bar and Grill in Glenville. "Somebody has to know something, somewhere, whether they realize it or not," said sister Renee Hill. Authorities have not ruled out foul play. A fundraiser by the Friends of Fred Hill was held yesterday in Dunbar, hoping to raise enough money to offer a reward for information about his disappearance. The group is also looking at hiring a private investigator. Hill was last seen leaving a Glenville bar on December 11, with some reports saying he was asked to leave. Renee Hill realizes that the search for her brother will come to an end if he's not found soon. Police have used cadaver dogs, a sonar-equipped boat, a chopper and foot-searchers in an effort to find the man. Hill is approximately 5'7", weighs around 140 pounds and has curly brown shoulder-length hair. He was last seen wearing dark-tan Carhart suspenders and a green sweatshirt. Hill was working in Glenville. If you have any information, call the Gilmer County Sheriff's Department at 304-462-7441.
