Where has Guv Sanford been for last four days?

COLUMBIA, S.C. — The whereabouts of Gov. Mark Sanford was unknown for nearly four days, and some state leaders question who was in charge of the executive office.

Jake Knotts and three others familiar with the situation but declined to be identified.

Update: Late Monday evening, Gov. Mark Sanford's office revealed that he is hiking on the Appalachian Trail.
