Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP21110) and 3 other sources
Ronnie Paul Cobb, a 49-year-old man from Dyersburg, Tennessee, disappeared on April 10, 2010. On that day, he was preparing to go turkey hunting. He was last seen at the Parker boat ramp on the Forked Deer River. Dressed in camouflage hunting clothes and boots, Ronnie was ready for a day in the outdoors, something he likely had done many times before. The alarm was raised when he did not return and could not be contacted. The initial search for him would soon reveal unsettling clues.

The search for Ronnie began in the area where he was last seen. Authorities discovered his vehicle and boat trailer still parked at the boat ramp, a silent testament to his planned excursion. Further down the river, near the water treatment plant, his boat was found floating aimlessly. This discovery was a source of great concern for his family and the search teams. An extensive and thorough search of the river and the surrounding areas was launched, with multiple agencies and volunteers combing the land and water. Despite their exhaustive efforts, they found no trace of Ronnie.

The days turned into weeks, and the weeks into years, yet the mystery of Ronnie Cobb's disappearance remains unsolved. The Dyer County Sheriff's Office has kept his case open, and he is listed as a missing person. His case serves as a painful reminder of the heartache and uncertainty that surrounds missing person cases. The official investigation, along with the efforts of his loved ones, has not yet yielded the answers they so desperately seek. The community has not forgotten Ronnie, and his case remains a topic of concern and speculation. The overview of the case is one of a dedicated hunter who seemingly vanished without a trace, leaving behind a loving family and a community with more questions than answers. The lack of any significant leads or evidence has made this a particularly challenging case for law enforcement.
