The Georgia Department of Natural Resources assisted local authorities in Newton County to search for a man reported missing three months ago but after several hours, authorities said nothing was discovered.
The search took place Friday in the area of Ga. 11 and U.S. 278 in the eastern part of the county, according to a spokesperson with the DNR. Boats and cadaver dogs were deployed to comb several small ponds where the man, who has been missing since May, liked to fish, the spokesperson said.
Around 3 p.m. that day, the Newton sheriff’s office said the search had concluded and that, “At this time, there are no updates on the missing person case.”
The sheriff’s office did not provide any further information about the investigation.
“Please be advised that there is no threat to the community,” the sheriff’s office said.
