A pick-up truck that could be linked to the disappearance of a 21-year-old Lumpkin County woman has been found, but so far there's no sign of her or the man thought to be responsible for her disappearance.
Lt. Alan Roach with the Lumpkin County Sheriff's Office confirmed Tuesday, Sept. 24 that authorities had located a black Ford Ranger that could hold clues in the disappearance and presumed murder of Hannah Bender.
Roach did not say where the truck was located, but he said it was being processed for evidence.
Bender was reported missing earlier this month by her mother. Over the weekend, the Lumpkin County Sheriff's Office took out a murder warrant for Austin Todd Stryker, 22, after their investigation turned up bloody clothing thought to belong to Bender.
Investigators continue to search for both Bender and Stryker. They also are searching for Jerry Harper, 78; they believe Stryker might be with Harper.
Anyone with information is asked to call 911 or the Lumpkin County Sheriff's Office at 706-974-6824.
