CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. – The girlfriend of a missing Chesterfield County man calls his disappearance uncharacteristic.
The woman, who talked to CBS 6 off-camera, said Doug Burwell Jr.’s disappearance followed some bizarre behavior.

Crime Insider sources say Burwell's clothes and cell phone were located, a few doors down in a driveway. Those same sources say as far as they can tell, Burwell didn't have an ATM card or money with him.
Off-camera his girlfriend told Jon Burkett that she is distraught over his disappearance. Burwell is a man she has known since middle school and that this kind of behavior is totally out of character.
