Murray's father said his son got separated from his friend and was outside the bar, but could not get back inside.
"There was some issue. He wasn't allowed back in the bar. We're trying to figure that out," Thomas Murray, Sr. said.
No one has heard from Murray Jr. since. Murray's cell phone was found in a ditch near the sports bar and his pickup truck was left in the parking lot. Investigators said they suspect foul play.
Murray Jr. is 5 feet 6 inches tall, 140 pounds with blue eyes. He was last seen wearing a red T-shirt with white lettering and shorts.
