GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – A Grand Rapids family has reported that their son has not returned home since Tuesday.
Family tells FOX 17 News that Bobby Hough, 33, left from his job at Mr. Pizza at 3:45 a.m. on Tuesday. From there, he went to his mother’s home where he later left in the direction of his dad’s house, but his dad said he never made it.
Detectives at the Grand Rapids Police Department said a missing person’s report was filed at 3:45 p.m. that same day. They said Hough has no known medical conditions. However, Hough’s dad said his son “is a little slow and trusting.” He also said it’s unlike his son to not show up.
Family also said that one of Hough’s co-workers witnessed him driving that night in a ’99 Ford Escort that is blue/green in color. The car has a hole in the drivers side back bumper. It also has two Kerry/Edward bumper stickers. The front passenger side tire is missing a hubcap.

Is that supposed to be funny Adam? Your comment is very ignorant. My cousin is not retarded, he is missing and my family is very worried about him. If anyone is going to make ignorant comments, please dont. My family does not need to read that.

Our thoughts are with the Hough family. Praying for a safe return.
February 7, 2013 at 12:55 AM
thanks everyone for the thoughts and prayers we hope he makes it home safe

I also wondered why Fox put the word "missing" in quotes, but not for any mean reason regarding the person. It seems to be a mistake in the presentation, one that many so-called news writers make nowadays. I pray the guy is found and hope everyone keeps an eye out for him.
February 7, 2013 at 10:42 AM
I wondered the same thing, Naomi. Good job, Fox.
I, too, pray Bobby is found.
February 7, 2013 at 8:06 AM
Andy and Tina, dont talk like that, its ok, Adam knows what he is. Dont stoop to his level, then he wins. Im mad and irritated too about his comment but our family is better than that. Everyone is worried about Bobby coming home safely. Im not sure why they put missing in quotes, the journalists nowadays are not the brightest, Im sorry to say. But that should not be the focus of the comments on here. The focus should be finding Bobby safe and sound and getting him back home.
February 7, 2013 at 8:19 AM
i know and i am sorry i just hate people like that everyone is going though alot and they really dont need to see that its just not right i admit i was wrong for talking like that i relized it after i wrote it but andy on the other hand i dont think anyone can stop him from blowing up i know i cant i tryed him and bobby are really close andy trys to keep his self busy he goes to work then come home and sees that its fuck up
February 7, 2013 at 11:45 AM
I get it baby girl, Im angry too. Bobby is vulnerable and very trusting. Trust me, ask my Uncle Bob or Chris about me, Im the first to defend my family and throw down. But talking like that and threatening people wont do any good. We need to focus on finding Bobby. Andy will deal with it in his own way. It might not be the right way but its his way of dealing with it. We dont need to lower ourselves to idiots levels like that. They are just trolling for trouble, dont give it to him, hes a nobody. People are always gonna talk shit, its what you answer to that makes all the difference.
February 7, 2013 at 9:37 AM
So the police call it a "Missing" Persons Report? Get real FOX17, his family doesn't think he made the choice himself.
February 7, 2013 at 2:19 PM
I want to Thank Fox news for letting people know what's going on with my brother-n-law. I thank everyone for the prayers that has been going out to Bobby and the family. At this time we need all the support we can get. I've been reading some of the post on Fox news page and it sadens me to read a certain post on here. We as a family believe Bobby Hough is missing due to the fact we have NOT heard from him or seen him sense 4am on Tuesday morning along with him not showing up to work, which is not like Bobby at all. We as a family are just doing what any other family member would do if they thought one of their family members were missing. All of his family love and miss him very much and want to get down the the bottum of this so we can bring him back home. So, if you have any information on his where abouts please contact the police.
February 7, 2013 at 10:20 PM
Well said Kim! I cant believe some of the nasty negative comments on here. Some people just lack compassion and empathy but are quick to throw out jabs when its really not necessary. I talked with Uncle Bob today. I agree that the focus needs to stay on finding Bobby safe and sound. That is all our family wants.
February 7, 2013 at 10:51 PM
Thanks Lori and I agree. The family is upset very much right now and it hurts, All of us in different ways are trying to "deal" with what's going on in our family. We as a family are coming together and trying to be strong so we can bring Bobby home where he belongs. I never thought I would have to deal with this myself and now that i've had to, it's hard to explain the feeling you have inside of you until you go through it. I hope and pray that everyone that's going through this finds the courage and strength to go on in life. You have my support all the way. Again, if you have a leads or where a bouts Bobby might be please call the police. The family THANKS everyone for their prayers and support!

I have been posting and posting his info on my facebook newsfeed since I heard. All i want to do is help find my friend from so many years ago. I havent seen him inforever, but he was my buddy and i love him. I am so heartbroken. My thoughts and prayers are with all you guys. It saddens me every morning i wake up and see that Bobby has still not been found. Dont give up! I know i wont. Please keep me posted. My sister and i have been worried sick.
February 8, 2013 at 11:56 AM
I have contacted 4 major local radio station managers with his info and pleading for their help. I'll keep trying to think of ways to get the word out.
February 8, 2013 at 12:42 PM
I'm pretty sure FOX has to put 'missing' because as of right now it's just alleged. His family is sure he's missing, and the police will absolutely conduct an investigation and search. But I think there's a time limit or a need of factual evidence before FOX or anyone can report that someone is missing without quotations. Its kinda like they're quoting what they were told. (Just to clarify for the tactless jerk up there who just had to say something irrelevant and uncalled-for. Bobby's family is hurting, snide remarks are just cruel at this point.)
February 8, 2013 at 11:53 PM
Bobby is my nephew and this family is very worried about him, so please if you are going to post on post on post only positive. My sister and her family need positive and loving input right now. You see this stuff on television but you never think it is going to happen to you. Well it has, and I know someone out there knows something, even just the smallest detail could help us immencely if you seen Bobbie that night let us know, if you seen any thing suspicious after he got out of work let us know. if he said anything to you about going some place let us know. Please we are begging for your help, any thing you can give us would be helpful, even if you think its nothing it could really be very important.Keep praying for Bobbie and this family. Your all very appreciated.

Hello
February 9, 2013 at 8:29 PM
Thank You all for your prayers and well wishes He has been found he is safe and healthy Thank you all again.
February 12, 2013 at 1:44 PM
Has this man been found yet? I hope that he is ok..Just wondering why i have not seen any other posts or updates to either tell us he is ok or that we need to still be looking. Some people may have missed this story and I think there needs to be a new update or redone broadcast. Missing people are more important than other news that can go a day without being posted about..
February 12, 2013 at 1:45 PM
Ahh lol I didnt see this post from tiffiny.. Glad he is safe!
February 15, 2013 at 12:10 PM
I hope that he comes home safe and that all is ok
