Bodies Found; Likely Those of Missing Family
The bodies believed to be those of three family members, who disappeared from their Yazoo City home on Valentine’s Day, were found in a wooded area, and a relative was charged with murder, authorities said.
Warren Strain, spokesman for the Mississippi Highway Patrol, said the bodies were believed to be those of Michael and Rebecca Hargon and their 4-year-old son.
The discovery of the remains and the charges against Earnest Lee Hargon capped an intense three-week search. Hargon, 43, a truck driver, was arrested on unrelated drug charges Friday.
