SARATOGA — Authorities say a piece of human bone that was found near Saratoga in southwest Arkansas may be from a man who disappeared 18 years aggo.
Robert Lomax was 81 when he vanished in November 1992 while walking home after having Thanksgiving dinner wiht friends. Investigators say Lomax was known to carry substantial amounts of cash and believe he may have been robbed and killed.
The Texarkana Gazette reports that the bone was found less than a mile from where Lomax lived. A geology group was digging in the area and discovered the bone fragment.
The bone was sent for DNA analysis to see if it matches Lomax.
Anyone with information about Lomax's disappearance is asked to call the Howard County Sheriff's Department at 870-845-2626.
