“We searched the area for over six hours Tuesday night, but were unsuccessful,” Gooch reported. “The area is very remote.”

On Wednesday morning, March 8, at approximately 11:20 a U.S. Forest Service employee working in the area spotted Wilson’s body 30 yards off of County Road 243. The sheriff’s department, assisted by the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Forestry Service, District Attorney’s office and the Water Valley Police Department responded to process the scene.

The sheriff reported his department was in communication with Wilson’s family during the search Tuesday night and again Wednesday after he was found dead.

There is no word yet on Wilson's cause of death. This investigation is ongoing and we will report as more details become available.
