Foul play is suspected in the disappearance of a 20-year-old man missing from Berkeley County for more than two weeks, authorities said Thursday.

The Berkeley County Sheriff's Office is asking the public for help in locating Larry Jerome Cook of Miles Jamison Road in Summerville. He was seen last in the Red Bank Road area of Goose Creek in the early morning hours of Dec. 16, said Dan Moon, sheriff's public information officer.

Cook is 6 feet 1 inch tall and about 225 pounds, Moon said.

On Dec. 18, Cook's vehicle and an acquaintance were located by police in Tallahassee, Fla., Moon said. The acquaintance has been returned to South Carolina. He is not charged in connection with Cook's disappearance, but he is a "person of interest," Moon said.

"At this time, it is believed that foul play is involved with Mr. Cook's disappearance," Moon said. He would not reveal details that have led investigators to suspect foul play.

Anyone with information about Cook's disappearance should contact the Berkeley County Sheriff's Office at 723-3800, the Dorchester County Sheriff's Office at 873-5111 or Crime Stoppers at 554-1111.
