A Jenkins County man has been missing since Thursday, and Sheriff Robert Oglesby said he hopes citizens have information that will result in his being found safely.
Louis C. “L.C.” Burroughs, 74, of the Butts community, was last seen in his salvage yard Thursday, Oglesby said.
Burroughs’ family members contacted the Jenkins County Sheriff’s Office Friday with concerns about him, and, “We searched all day,” the sheriff said.

In addition to Jenkins County sheriff’s deputies, rangers from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources and Georgia State Patrol aided in the search. While there is no evidence of foul play, Oglesby said he feels Burroughs’ absence is suspicious.
Saturday, a search team went out again, this time with a team of volunteers “from all over the state,” he said. Around 60 searchers, including cadaver and search K-9s and a helicopter, “combed over 100 acres, and still nothing,” he said Tuesday.
“There is no proof of foul play at this time, and what we have is a missing person,” he said. Burroughs was still missing Tuesday afternoon.
Anyone with information of Burroughs’ whereabouts is asked to call the Jenkins County Sheriff’s office at (478) 982-4211.
