Police have few leads in the case of an Iraq war veteran missing for weeks.

Donald Wright, 32, had just lost his job and had a fight with his girlfriend, which worries his family and girlfriend. Police said they know Wright might be upset, and they just want to make sure he's not in any danger, WTAE Channel 4's Shannon Perrine reported.

Police said Wright was last seen by his girlfriend on Feb. 26 at their home in South Park. Then, he was seen near Desdemona Avenue in the city's Hazelwood neighborhood at a paintball park on March 2 with another person.

The next day, his car was found in the area, with his cell phone in it, but Wright was gone. Wright was also spotted at a South Side bar, but weeks have passed since anyone has seen him.

Police described Wright as a white man with brown hair who is 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighs 180 pounds. Police said they want to know why Wright would leave without his car or cell phone.
