Once inside, the suspect showed a weapon and demanded money. He left with an unspecified amount of money and witnesses were not sure if he got away on foot or by car.

Police have released a surveillance image of the suspect. If you have information on his identity, you are asked to call police.

Authorities believe they have identified the man witnesses saw in Flatrock River hanging onto a canoe, and then observed by hunters in a field adjacent to the river.

43-year-old James Hellums of Shelbyville was last seen at a friend’s house near the Flatrock River at 9 a.m. Sunday when he left with his white pit bull.

His family and friends have not been seen or heard from him since.

Police say, a cellular phone ping on Hellums’ phone shows that it was turned off at some point Sunday morning.

The hunters have confirmed via photograph that Hellums was the man they encountered in the field. They also stated that Hellums had described his dog he was looking for as a white pitbull.

Hellums’ parents have filed a missing person report with the Shelby County Sheriff Department.

If you know of Mr. Hellums whereabouts, please contact Shelby County Sheriff Department.

Details for continuing the search for Hellums will be made available when they are finalized.

A Clark County man accused of attempting to kidnap two young girls faced a judge Wednesday.

Winchester police got a call about a man who tried to pick up a 12 and 13-year-old at the corner of Lincoln Street and Hickman Avenue. The girls told police the man stopped his white truck, opened the door and told them to get in. The girls ran away and Hamilton was found a mile away, police said.

Police say Hamilton admitted to driving around and that he saw the girls, but didn’t say anything to them when he stopped at a stop sign.

According to Thomas Hamilton’s citation, police searched the attempted kidnapping suspect’s vehicle and found a couple of ropes, a folded towel, a pillow, a steak knife and a lot of plastic sheeting.

The Commonwealth attorney says that the charge should have been attempted kidnapping. Hamilton’s defense attorney contended that there was no basis for that charge and asked for a dismissal.

The judge told attorneys that he had no doubt in his mind that Hamilton had intended to commit a crime, but amended the charge to unlawful imprisonment, a misdemeanor.

Hamilton will be back in court January 12 at 9:00 a.m. for amended charge of unlawful imprisonment.

On May 26, 1987, the body of an unidentified white male was found along Highway W in Warren County, Missouri. It is estimated that he had been there for 4 to 5 days prior to discovery. The victim was found decapitated, and his hands were cut off. He had an irregular scar, approximately 2 inches in length, described as being “right of the midline.” This scar is possibly from an old gunshot wound that was not treated professionally.

The victim was wearing a dark-blue, short-sleeve t-shirt, size XL, featuring the words “1987 Rose Bowl”; Oscar de la Renta-brand blue jeans, unknown size, hemmed 2 inches with frayed ends; Justin-brand belt; white Jockey-brand underwear; and white Nike high-top tennis shoes, size 9, possibly new (as indicated by clean soles).
