A man and his dog, last seen over a week ago, have been reported missing after police found his car at a boat ramp in Kill Devil Hills.

The Coast Guard says the man, 47-year-old Scott Johnson, was last seen by a neighbor on August 22. They say he was reportedly taking his 23-foot sport fisher to solve a maintenance issue with his boat, and they’re unsure how long he was planning to be gone for or where he was going.
