From Sheriff Eric Clark on Missing Person:
The Neshoba County Sheriff’s Office has been working diligently over the past week to locate Joe Whittle. Search efforts have included personnel on foot, boats, drones, and other available resources.
Investigators continue to actively follow up on leads as they are received and process new information as the investigation develops.
Some of the last reported sightings of Mr. Whittle were of him riding his red motorized bike, which he frequently used to travel throughout Neshoba County. We are asking for the public’s assistance in determining whether anyone has seen Mr. Whittle or his red motorized bike within the past three to four weeks. No piece of information is too small and could be valuable to the investigation.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the Neshoba County Sheriff’s Office at 601-656-1414 or East Mississippi Crime Stoppers at 855-485-TIPS (8477).
