Missouri State Highway Patrol Lieutenant Eric Tillford says a woman called authorities to say she saw Mike Howell’s photograph and recognized him. She told authorities she gave Howell a ride to a hotel in Cameron.
Law officers from the Patrol and the Clinton County Sheriff’s Office searched an area in and around Lathrop on Monday after Howell’s truck was found at the Trex-Mart on I-35. (Click here)
Suspicions were aroused when officers found Howell’s cell phone, wallet and PC in the tractor.
But Tillford says officers contacted Howell at a Cameron hotel and he is okay. Tillford says Howell was just having some personal problems.
