69-year-old Marshall K. Alley had been reported missing in March. His body was found on May 11 on the bank of Elk Creek off Hwy 3106 by two children who lived in the area, officials said. Detectives did not suspect any foul play.

Alley was last seen Feb. 21 when he was given a ride and dropped off near Garth Street.
According to a Wayne County jailer, a deputy jailer getting off work that day had offered to give Alley a ride so he wouldn’t have to walk in the cold. The jailer says Alley asked to be dropped off near Garth Street which is near his son’s house.
He was reported missing on March 10 by his family.
