UNION PARISH, La. (KTVE/KARD) – A group of volunteers in Litroe have teamed up to help search for a missing veteran in Union Parish.

“I haven’t given up. I’m retired, so I have time. I’m here every day to check. I have two dogs.” Says one of the volunteers, Kenneth Mclemore.

Two domesticated dogs, horses, tracking dogs and even cadaver dogs is what took local officials and local volunteers to help find 78-year-old James Lofton from Marion.

I hunted all over Union Parish growing up south of there. It makes me wonder just where this car was found.

Only one person has commented. That makes me feel really sad.

Very sad. I wonder if he had any mental deficits? He may have just wandered off into the woods and got confused and lost.

This area is a little north of me. The weather has been warm during the day and pretty cool at night. I'm praying for him to be safely found. Lots of wooded area in Union Parish.

The Union Parish Chief Deputy, William Webb, says the search for James Lofton continues to expand from its original square mile area.

Webb says a search warrant for Lofton’s phone was obtained, but there were no signs of usage. He went on to say that Lofton’s bank account hasn’t shown any signs of activity either.

It’s been three weeks since the Union Parish Sheriff’s Office reported the man missing.
