Garland Warren's Toyota truck was found outside of a Dollar General in Griffin, but he was not found with the truck.

[...]

The search started with many gathering around the taped-off piece of evidence. Warren's Toyota truck was parked 100 miles away from home, which the family says was odd. They say he isn't too familiar with the area and doesn't often travel that way.

[...]

Deputies from Laurens and Spalding counties searched the wooded area around the Dollar General. After they did that search and checked store camera footage, the GBI took a look under the hood of Warren's car. It was later towed away.

[...]

We didn't learn much more from law enforcement by the time we left. We do know they have a new lead, but officials didn't specify what it is. The Laurens County Sheriff's Office shared their search is still ongoing but we do not know when they plan to continue it.

There is an update on the Spalding County SO FB page - I'm snipping the important bit:

Late Saturday night, Investigators spoke with Robert Earnest Peppers W/M 62, and Kelly Gail Osborn W/F 56 at their residence. While being questioned by Investigators, Peppers admitted to being the person who drove Mr. Warren’s vehicle and parking it behind the Dollar General. Osborn admitted she was following Peppers and picked him up after he dropped off the vehicle. Both were brought to the Spalding County Sheriff’s Office for interview, and a search warrant was executed on their residence.
Based on their interview, Investigators were able to locate a road and find the location where Mr. Warren’s vehicle had been pulled from a ditch and driven away by Peppers. Investigators, L.A.W.S. personnel and others were activated again and responded to that area along with STAR, and multiple K-9’s. During the search of the area a piece of mail belonging to Mr. Warren was found. Further interviews and information gathered led to the execution of a second search warrant on this residence this morning where items now known to be from Mr. Warren’s vehicle were recovered.
Both Peppers and Osborn are currently in custody at the Spalding County Jail and are being further questioned about their role and involvement with Mr. Warren. For now, they have been charged with theft by receiving stolen property.”

Mr. Warren still hasn't been located.

Garland Sims Warren disappearance: 2 arrested as search continues for missing Laurens County man

The search for Garland Sims Warren has intensified after his truck was found nearly 100 miles away and the arrest of two people.

www.fox5atlanta.com

In a statement released on Monday, Sheriff Dix wrote:

"We have had questions about civilians and civilian groups coming to Spalding County to search for Mr. Warren, and we have had a few reports of it. It has led to Deputies and Investigators being sent on a couple of wild goose chases by folks that mean well, but do not have the facts that we are using to conduct this investigation. All this does is move our attention away from locating Mr. Warren and slow things down because we will be having to deal with them at the same time. Even if we search an area, we may have to return to it based on new information we receive as the investigation continues and new leads are developed. Having people trample through these areas on foot, on ATV’s, with dogs, horses, and search areas on their own does not help, it can actually hinder our investigation and the gathering of pertinent evidence. If we need outside help, we have no problem reaching out to citizens and asking for help…”
"I have said many times before, when an investigation is being conducted, we just can’t blurt out everything we know or do a minute-by-minute update.“
