TURRELL, Ark. (AP) - Authorities say a body found in an east Arkansas wildlife refuge is that of a man missing for nearly three years.
Crittenden County Sheriff’s Chief Todd Grooms told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette that the body is that of Blake Wood of the Marion area, who was 23 when he disappeared in August 2014.
The body was found March 22 in the Wapanocca National Wildlife Refuge near Turrell. Grooms said identification was made using dental records, but a cause of death has not been determined.
Authorities say Woods disappeared after getting out of a friend’s vehicle and running into a wooded area.
