Found Deceased WV - John Jesse Willey, last seen 2018 *suicide or murder?*

Someone who killed one of their employees (SPECULATION) might want to continue paying him so that it looked like he was not a suspect...???

This is the only thing I can think too - do you keep paying him so it looks like he’s still alive and you’re not a suspect in him missing

I don't think anyone would expect a small business owner to continue paying someone who is no longer providing work for them for four years. After a couple months, no one would blame you or find it suspicious if you sent him an email telling him that you'll rehire him if he's found and but right now you have to stop paying him so you can use his salary to hire someone to do the work he was doing.
