  HIGH POINT – Everything seemed OK with her husband when Carmella Morgan went out to run a couple errands Friday night.
  But when she returned around 10:30 p.m., there was no sign of Kenneth Leon Mor­gan at the couple’s Mc Guinn Drive home.
  Family members said Mon­day they had no idea what may have become of the High Point man. Police officers and firefighters searched the area around Morgan’s home early Saturday with the help of a specially-trained K-9, a blood­hound brought in from Ran­dolph County. They also brought in specialized search equipment.
  Family and friends also have been contacted.
  But Morgan was still miss­ing as of Monday afternoon.
  Carmella Morgan said her husband’s car was at their house when she got home from her errands Friday night. The house was locked and Kenneth Morgan’s keys were gone, though his wallet was there, his wife said. She’s since discovered that a flash­light is missing from the home.
  Kenneth Morgan, 46, worked off and on as a self-em­ployed barber since being di­agnosed with lung cancer in August 2004, family members said. A doctor re­cently pre­scribed steroids for him to con­trol swelling as­sociated with a brain tumor. The medicat ion made it difficult for her hus­band of seven years to sleep, and he seemed “hyped up” and was “kind of rambling” when she saw him at one point Friday night, Carmella Morgan said.
  Family members said they don’t believe Morgan intend­ed to harm himself. He had al­ready beaten the survival odds for the type of cancer he has, they said.
  “It looked like everything was going as well as it could for a cancer patient,” said Tracy Scott, Carmella Mor­gan’s sister. “The cancer was under control. It was not spreading at all.”
  If he didn’t take the steroid medication as prescribed, it’s possible the swelling could have impacted his cognitive abilities, family members said.
  “He could be walking around confused,” Scott said.
  Kenneth Leon Morgan is black, 5 feet, 7 inches tall and weighs 140 to 150 pounds.
  Anyone with information as to his whereabouts is asked to call High Point police.
