LUCEDALE--The body of a man who has been missing for four days has been found in rural George County.
Authorities said the body of Michael Wayne Cowart, 32, was found Tuesday night.
Cowart was last seen Friday morning around 9:30 at Ward's in Lucedale. The victim's pick-up truck was found abandoned and locked near the Pascagoula River Bridge slightly off Mississippi 26 late Friday.
Cowart never showed to pay employees Friday. He was a self-employed logger, a George County native, but residing in Greene County.
Cowart's brothers found his body around 7 p.m in a wooded area near the Pascagoula River between Lucedale and Benndale off a side road of Mississippi 26.
George County Sheriff Eugene Howell said Wednesday that an investigation was under way with the assistance of the Mississippi Highway Patrol.
County medical examiner W.T. Passon says Cowart had been shot but an autopsy was under way.
