Remains Found on Mississippi River Island in Arkansas May Be 2022 Missing Man

Human remains were discovered on a remote island in the Mississippi River near Snow Lake in Desha County, Mississippi, by children playing during a family outing. Authorities, including the Desha County Sheriff's Office and multiple agencies, investigated the site the following day due to prior severe weather, uncovering bones, clothing, and a wallet. Investigators believe the remains belong to a Mississippi County, Arkansas man who went missing in 2022 and was last seen in Kennett, Missouri. The Desha County Sheriff’s Office is coordinating with officials from Mississippi County and Kennett to investigate the circumstances surrounding the disappearance. The man's identity has not been publicly released, pending confirmation by the Arkansas State Crime Laboratory, but his family has been notified of the discovery. This remains an ongoing investigation.
