HUNTSVILLE | A vehicle belonging to missing man Audie Harness has been located in a remote area near Bull Creek south of here, Scott County Sheriff Brian Keeton said Sunday evening.

Keeton said that his department received a call about the vehicle just after 7 p.m. Sunday evening. Authorities responded to the Bull Creek area and were able to locate the vehicle on a four-wheel-drive road.

The 70-year-old Harness has now been missing for more than three weeks. He was last seen on Saturday, May 4. A missing person report was filed a week later, and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation issued a “silver alert” for Harness on May 13. Keeton said on May 12 that Harness does not have dementia, as had been reported on social media, but does have a medical condition that might prevent him from returning home without assistance

Harness was originally from the Bull Creek community, and acquaintances had said early on that he often spoke of the area where he grew up.

Keeton said it appeared that Harness had traveled in his vehicle as far as he could before his vehicle bottomed out on the rough road and was abandoned.

Not found till today - It's sad how many elderly people get lost and are never seen again, or are later found dead. They should be equipped with GPS or tracker wristbands.

I would HATE to be forced to be equipped with a GPS/tracker, just because I'm 'elderly'. It should be a person's own decision if, and what, they need to be safe. Of cource in a discussion with their family, and if needed, health care provider, and not something that's forced upon them.
