ATLANTA — Hundreds of people turned out Saturday to search for two missing Fulton County men who haven't been seen since last Saturday, Feb. 25.
“This has been a big weight on our shoulders, on the community’s shoulder, and on the family’s shoulder," Casey Salter said.
Salter was among the people looking for his brother, Jason Salter, and Jason's friend and business partner, Kenny Guerra. The two men are both fathers, business partners and best friends and vanished a week ago.
Salter's brother reported them missing on Sunday, Feb. 26, after Salter didn't come home or answer his cell phone.
A few hundred friends, family, police officers, and community remembers came together Saturday afternoon, exactly a week after the men went missing, hoping and praying to find them.
Loved ones said they're heartbroken but hopeful Salter and Guerra will be found. Salter's family believes both men were together in his car when the two vanished last Saturday evening.
Mitchell Austin is a minister who led prayers before the search for the two missing men. Austin is also Salter's father who's coping with not hearing from his son.
“It’s just so different not being able to call him or hear from him," Austin said.
“We can’t sleep. We can’t eat. We can’t even think about not having my brother here and not having Kenny here," Salter said. "Just seeing the emotions on both their mothers’ faces daily breaks my heart.”
Emotions are raw for Salter's brother, who was also friends with Guerra.
“It’s heartbreaking. It’s heartbreaking. It really is," Salter said. "I’ve cried my last cry, and now it’s time for me to really get out here and time to put some boots on the ground.”

The tearful friends and family members said they won't give up hope until the two men are found.
