The parents of an Alexander County teen missing for nearly five months said Tuesday they are still hopeful that authorities will find their son alive.

Travis Lee Baker, 19, hasn't been seen since April 16, when he missed lunch with his girlfriend and failed to show up for work that evening.

Investigators at the Catawba County Sheriff's Office suspect foul play, said Capt. Roy Brown.

Investigators are also trying to find Baker's 1998 two-door red Camaro. Its license tag is N.C. WRP 8627.

Baker has dark brown hair, blue eyes and four tattoos, including his last name in capital letters across his back, the name "Hallie" on his chest, and red and black bands on his upper arms.

Anyone with information should call the Sheriff's Office at 828-464-5241 or the Community United Effort Center for Missing Persons at 910-232-1687.
