SEARCY, Ark. -- Police in Searcy, Arkansas, say human remains found on a high school campus this week are those of a Louisiana man reported missing 20 years ago.
The Searcy Police Department says the remains found Tuesday in a wooded area near Riverview High School are those of Larry Don Madden. Authorities say the Arkansas State Crime Laboratory used dental records to make the identification.
