Orange vest OVER a backpack?

Orange vest OVER a backpack?

This is pretty common with hunters in this area. It’s better visibility than putting the vest under the backpack. The article did word all of that in a weird way though.

Demetris Cherry says her husband left without his wallet or cell phone.

She says he left behind letters, but they were inconclusive as to his whereabouts.

"In the letters he told us he loved us, but there was no reason for him to leave in the letters," explained Cherry.

She says her husband didn't have any medical or mental issues.

The couples 33rd wedding anniversary is next month.

They have three children and four grandchildren.

"We love you. Please come home. We are so worried. There are so many people that love you," said Cherry.

The remains could belong to Rodney Cherry, a Magnolia resident who went missing in November, the sheriff added.

“Items found at the scene indicate that the skeletal remains may belong to Rodney Cherry who went missing in November 2017,” read a CCSO statement, “but DNA analysis is required to verify the identity of the remains.”

The Magnolia Police Department is also assisting in the matter, according to the statement.
On Tuesday afternoon, more than a half dozen patrol vehicles and numerous law enforcement officials gathered near the remains site along Cowboy Road. The site is roughly 1.5 miles from the dirt roadway’s intersection with County Road 47 (Dudney Road).
Although on-scene investigators were tight-lipped about the findings, the area is just 3 miles from Cherry’s home and sits in the heart of the area that saw a large-scale local and state manhunt performed in the days and weeks following Cherry’s disappearance. On-foot grid searches, aerial visual searches by drone and helicopter, and dog searches were all part of the efforts to find Cherry.
