Police said there hasn't been any activity on the 36-year-old's cell phone or credit cards.

Sky 4 was over the scene of a wooded area off Ford Road near Morris' apartment as investigators fanned out looking for clues.

Police didn't find anything.

His friends have been working closely with police to find Morris.

"If I was inclined to believe in aliens, I would think he got abducted. I mean, he literally has disappeared with zero trace," said Peter Skinner.

His friends told Local 4 they hope the outcome is good, but mainly want closure as to what happened.
