...23-year-old Andrew Hires, who goes by Trent,... [snip] The Thomasville man was last seen Sunday night, near Barnetts Creek. According to the Grady County Sheriff’s Office, he led deputies on a car chase and crashed into the creek bridge’s wall after he jumped out while his vehicle was still in drive. Hires then jumped from the bridge, and deputies say they’re unsure if he landed in water or on the embankment.

...last spotted near the Thomas-Grady County line.
...near the Highway 84 over Barnett’s Creek
“We’re encouraged by that, that he wasn’t severely injured or fatally injured by jumping off the bridge but he’s still missing,” Jones said.
The Thomas County Sheriff’s office has listed Hires as a missing person. However, Hires still faces charges for fleeing, as well as for meth and a gun that was found in his car.

...no indication if Hires is alive or was fatally injured while trying to escape. “We are working both sides of the investigation,” Jones said. “We are trying to either make a body recovery or solve a crime, so we can give closure to the family.” [snip] Jones wants Hires to know it is no longer about the warrants; they want to make sure he is safe.
 
Trent's father and brother were arrested for murdering Andrew Hill of Thomasville. The pair think Hill is responsible for Trent's disappearance.

One of the men reportedly screamed at Hill, questioning where his son was, before shooting him. Hill responded to the man that he didn’t kill his son, before two more gunshots went off. The witness believes the argument originated from the disappearance of Andrue “Trent” Hires, who is the son of Anthony “Tony” Hires.
 
Some of the comments on these posts and the one linked above in post #2 had me running through rabbit holes. It was all interesting reads but I'm still none the wiser on what caused Trent to disappear. I know TCSO says Trent jumped off a bridge, but people don't go around killing other people b/c their son/brother jumped off a bridge. Something stinks about this case and I don't think it's the fish in the water under Barnett's Creek bridge. :confused: o_O MOO

Trent’s last known whereabouts are on Highway 84 over Barnett’s Creek.

“I go over the Barnett’s Creek Bridge every now and then. I still holler, you know, thinking that he’s still out there but…knowing that he’s not,” said Kala Hires, Trent’s sister.

Trent leaves behind two sons. His mom Tammy said she’s beaten cancer twice, but still, her son’s disappearance is the toughest battle she faces every day.

“My heart knows. My baby is in heaven. This is 733 days that he’s not contacted me or his sister,” Tammy said
