[h=1]Two billboards go up calling for answers in missing Burke County man’s cold case[/h]
BURKE COUNTY, Ga. (WJBF) – A Burke County family plans to unveil one of two billboards featuring their missing loved one in hopes of getting some concrete information about what happened the day he disappeared.

Simon Powell’s family chose a very visual representation after a year and a half of unfruitful tips and unsuccessful searches.

“The family said it wasn’t uncommon for him to go on a walk in the afternoon,” said Sgt. Cameron Hampton, a Burke County Sheriff’s Office Investigator. “But for him to have been in his vehicle that late at night and then not coming home was strange.”
Powell’s family also tell me that he had too much to willingly leave behind including a lumber business. So, they are hoping the Augusta billboard and a second billboard on the Waynesboro Bypass gets people talking.

We spoke with Powell’s son too who told us they are offering a reward of up to $15,000 depending on what information is given to the Burke County Sheriff’s Office.

Sgt. Hampton explained to us that this is the biggest missing person case he has covered. But he added that people can contact him anonymously.

“I understand if somebody has information and they are nervous to put their name out there. If it’s like that, don’t give me your name. I don’t need your name to follow a lead.”

The family plans to hold a billboard dedication tomorrow at 1pm at the Waynesboro Bypass billboard.

A group of hunters made a grisly discovery in eastern Georgia Sunday when they stumbled on human remains “scattered about,” according to the Burke County Sheriff’s Office in Georgia.

An identity for the victim and cause of death have not been released.

Investigators say the bones were found around 12:15 p.m. Sunday in a wooded area about 14 miles west of the Burke County seat of Waynesboro. The largely rural area is about 35 miles southwest of Augusta.
