The disappearance of Don Hightower has finally been solved after a year of no answers.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation Eastman Field Office and the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office are asking for the public’s help with locating Don Hightower, a 59-year-old white male.
Hightower was last seen at 8:00 PM on Saturday, October 30, 2021, leaving his sister’s residence in Wrightsville, GA (Johnson County) driving a gold 2003 Toyota Camry with a tag of AKE9780 (see attached). He was last seen wearing red sweatpants and a red UGA sweatshirt (see attached).
Hightower has a medical condition that may result in confusion and difficulty communicating.
The family of a missing Johnson County man released a statement after a body of a missing man was found on Saturday in Laurens County.
The statement says they are sure that the body is that of Don Hightower, who went missing after leaving his sister's house in October 2021.
The hunter found his car off Highway 319 on Friday, according to a release from the Laurens County Sheriff's Office
The hunter called 911, and deputies arrived and ran the plate of the car. The tag on the car came back to a person named Don Hightower.
Laurens County deputies, the GBI and volunteers went out on a grid search early Saturday morning, where they discovered remains.
"It is with great sadness that we announce the search for our father, grandfather, brother, and friend is over," the statement said. "All evidence points toward the fact that Don suffered a medical emergency the night he went missing and passed away that night.
The remains are being sent to the GBI state crime lab for identification.
