The body of a 79-year-old Slaton man who was the subject of a search by Milam County authorities last week was found Thursday near Abernathy in the Texas Panhandle.
A number of Milam law enforcement groups had searched until Thursday for Celestino Rodriguez whose car was found near the Sugarloaf Mountain Bridge.
The search was called off after Lubbock County authorities said they believed Rodriguez never made it to Milam County. His body was found later that day.
Two persons have been arrested in the Panhandle and charged with murder while a third is being sought.
