The search for 65-year-old Joel Rosenbaum of Lawrenceville continues, with Habersham County Sheriff’s Office officials saying no new leads have been uncovered.
Rosenbaum was last seen about 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 26, passing by the Chevron at the Square on Monroe Street in Clarkesville. That store is a brief walk from the sheriff’s office, where he walked out the front gate of the Habersham County Detention Center property just before 6:30 that night.
On Tuesday, sheriff’s office personnel were joined by specialty tracking dogs to cover again the last area Rosenbaum was seen and to examine other locations where he might be.
“After a thorough search of the area from the sheriff’s office to the Clarkesville square, down into Pitts Park, and along the river, we are confident he is not in the area that was searched today – and that’s the area surrounding the last place we can confirm he was,” said Sheriff Joey Terrell. “The tracking dogs did not alert and there were no visual clues that he had been in that area.”
Investigators also utilized the specialty tracking team in the Cornelia area and to search around some unoccupied buildings and campsites to ensure Rosenbaum was not there.
Rosenbaum previously served as a well-known bartender at a country club in Johns Creek.
Anyone with information about Joel Rosenbaum’s whereabouts or who has seen him is asked to contact Investigator George Cason at (706) 839-0560 or submit an online tip at https://www.habershamsheriff.com/tips.
