Police in Texas are asking the musical community for help in locating a missing person. Dallas guitarist Strato David Lee Axel Hendrix has been missing for four months and friends are fearing the worst. Strato's pedal set-up was found smashed in a dumpster and his El Camino was discovered in a ditch with the words "turn it down mother (profanity omitted)" .

Police spoke with Strato's 2nd wife Roberta Licktenfeld who said she last saw Strato when he came by the Laundromat to borrow $80 for child support last summer. Licktenfeld said it is unlikely Strato is merely lost as he has worked for Domino's Pizza for 15 years and knows the city pretty well.

The BSU caught up with Strato's fan Joey Squier who said he has been distraught over the disappearance of his musical mentor. Through wailing sobs, Squier said that Strato gave some weed to a guy that promised to send Strato's CD samples to some Nashville music executives. Squier said that a couple of the guys at Guitar Center believed Strato's big break was probably just around the corner.

Strato was known in music circles for his "in your face" style of playing and his ability to seamlessly fit the pentatonic minor scale into almost every guitar solo. Strato was not without controversy though and he was frequently heard telling fellow band members " 9 is as low as this amp will go".

Law enforcement sources say Strato told Licktenfeld he was going to spend a few days jamming with some harmonica players. He was last seen entering the Westin Hotel in Irving on August 12, 2012.

In the late breaking news, Strato David Lee Axel Hendrix was arrested today in Austin, Texas in connection with the case of three harmonica players who were all admitted to the Fort Worth, Texas Our Lady Hospital with a full set of 14 Hohner Blues harps shoved up each of their asses.

Strato is rumored to have said, upon his arrest; "What else is a Blues Harp good for?"

It is rumored the harmonica players have been biding their time in lockup pulling each other's fingers all the while expelling a I-IV-V and occassional flatted third...
