Geohegan is a man with autism and has been diagnosed with schizophrenia. He is currently not taking his medication.

It is reported that he is paranoid due to a belief that an alien invasion is going to soon occur, authorities said. He has stockpiled survival supplies, all of which he has taken with him, investigators said.

The supplies include a change of clothes, knives, axes and hatchets.

Investigators believe he is heading to rural Indiana — specifically Brookeville Lake, Peppertown or the Chesterville area.

Geohegan is described as white with blue eyes and a thin build. Officials said he is around 5 feet, 10 inches tall and weighs approximately 135 pounds. He has short blond hair and a beard. Geohegan was last seen wearing a black zip-up hooded sweatshirt, a solid gray or black t-shirt, blue jeans and white Adidas tennis shoes.

He left his home in a silver 2007 Toyota Corolla with Kentucky plates 718KZY.

Anyone who sees Geohegan or his vehicle is asked to call 911.
