A search for a missing California man picked up in southern Erie County, according to the Niagara County Sheriff, whose deputies are taking part in the search for Rudy Ray Rockett.

Rockett, 64, was last seen Sunday in the area of Ransomville, Niagara County. He was scheduled to fly out of Buffalo that night, but didn't get on his flight.

Rockett's son, Rudy Jr., asked anyone in southern Erie or Cattaraugus counties to report anything out of the ordinary.

“If you live in that area, I would please ask you to look. If you have land there, are visiting there, just check out your property. That’s all I ask. Be safe. Look around the area you live at. I would truly appreciate it," Rudy Jr. said.

The Niagara County Sheriff also confirms that Rockett's stepson, Gregory Roy, was arrested Monday on a weapons charge.
