Wintersteen is a staple of Forsyth County government meetings, where he often gives his thoughts on matters before the board.

“If you've ever attended or watched county meetings or participated in public engagement events with the county, you've probably met him or seen him and know what a great person he is and how much he cares about our community,” District 5 Commissioner Laura Semanson said in a Facebook post. “He has not returned home from an event in north Georgia this past weekend.”

In the post, Semanson said it was reported that Wintersteen wanted to avoid taking Hwy. 60 when leaving on Saturday. She asked that anyone with information contact 911 or the sheriff’s office.
