Butts County Sheriff's Office Lt. Matt Munger was one of the first law enforcement officers at the scene that night.

Wallace Road is a narrow, unpaved road near I-16.

"That area is so thick down there, the woods are so thick. The grass is so thick. You can search that area five times and find five different things every time. It's probably like the worst searching conditions you could have," he said.


Munger said law enforcement had searched Wallace Road extensively at least three times.


But on Friday, it was a private search party of about six to eight people from a neighboring subdivision that went looking for Warren, who found his body.

Munger said the body was camouflaged when it was found.

Munger said his body was found about 100 yards from where his car was in the ditch.
He said they believe he went into the woods to explore after his car got stuck.

I just hope this was a case of him having some kind of medical incident, and his truck was stolen.

Munger said the body was camouflaged when it was found.

I hope we get more info on this. Camouflaged naturally by existing thick vegetation? Or a human attempt to camouflage using surrounding vegetation?

 

[airportwoman]

I'm sure the autopsy and investigation will reveal those answers.

A little more info..

Munger said the body was camouflaged when it was found.
"Where it was positioned at, it was — it was covered due to brush," he said. "It blended in well."
