Two best friends, Cody Parrick, 20, and Benjamin Baber, 20, have been missing for over eight days now. Their disappearance, after attending the Rocklahoma music festival on May 22, has left friends, family and police authorities stumped, according to NBC News.
Parrick and Baber planned to attend the entire Rocklahoma festival, which took place near Pryor, Okla. They went to the first night of the three-day fest, but only Parrick's pass was scanned. No one has seen or heard from them since that night.
"I just want my baby back," Donna Berryman, Baber's mother, told KJRH. "If anybody sees him, I want my baby back. I don't care how it is. I want to see him again."
Police officials said that the pair intended to drive back and forth from the event site instead of camping there. They were said to be driving a silver 2005 Pontiac Montana with license plate number B8E23. The car has not yet been found.
The disappearance of Parrick and Baber takes place amid heavy rain and severe weather, causing flooding in the area, which has further complicated search efforts, according to The Washington Post.
In spite of the weather, hundreds of volunteers have shown up to help look for the young men. A number of social media pages and groups have been created in order to organize search efforts. Even musician Rob Zombie shared a picture of his band with Parrick at a recent concert, urging people with information to come forward.
The families of Parrick and Baber said they couldn't be more thankful for everyone's willingness to help.
