Body Found In Webster County

EUPORA, Miss. (WCBI) — The body of a missing Eupora man has been located in Webster County.

Webster County Sheriff Tim Mitchell says the body 77-year-old Robert Lloyd Edwards was found Sunday in the woods west of Pogue Road. That’s the same road where Edwards lived when he and his truck disappeared Oct. 4.

Mitchell says his truck was found Friday along a logging road roughly four miles from Edwards home.

A tracking dog was then brought in and lead searchers to the body nearby.

An autopsy is being performed in Jackson to determine the cause of death and if there is a reason to suspect foul play.
