This story has been in the local news a lot lately. Popular preacher gone missing, needs his medicines, his wife on the TV barely able to hold herself together, grandkids asking where Grandaddy is. Terribly affecting, and you'd have to be a real heel not to have your heart broken by listening to it.
And this just in: Video Surveillance Captures Missing Preacher
By NBC 13 Staff
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Kimberly police have new evidence in the search for a missing preacher.
Gary Vance has been missing since April 20th.
NBC13 was told he left on a trip from Kimberly to Lincoln to check on a worksite.
Now there's surveillance video of him in the parking lot of a Tuscaloosa Wal-mart where his truck was found.
Police believe he was hopping a bus to Las Vegas
But I know if this was me, the police would have to put me in protective custody just to keep Miss Reba from yanking my innards out through my nose.
UPDATE: They updated the story link and killed the old one--new one can be found here.
