Earl John Kidder, Jr.
Opelousas, LA

Earl "Bubba" Kidder, Jr, 39, is missing. He went fishing with two friends on March 28, 2010 and phoned saying the fishing was going well. However, he never showed up the next morning to attend with his ill mom to a physician appointment. He has not been seen since. His family, children and friends are extremely worried. His sister says he was picked up by a friend for a weekend fishing trip in the Sherburne Wildlife Management Area. The car his friend picked him up in, was found extensively burned in Sherburne by Wildlife and Fisheries agents. We're told detectives spent the day questioning the two people who were fishing with Bubba before he vanished. The missing man's fishing companions state that they have no idea what happened to him. Bubba is 6'2" tall, weighing about 195 pounds with brown hair and eyes. He has a dimpled chin and a large scar on his right arm near his elbow.
