UPDATE: Body Identified as Ohio Man, Search for Wife Continues
Suspect describes where body discarded
March 01, 2011 4:46 PM
The body found Saturday in Chattanooga on Lightfoot Mill Rd. has been definitely identified as an Ohio man whose disappearance, along with that of his wife, has been the subject of national publicity.
Chattanooga area authorities are now actively searching for Russell's wife, Gladis, who went missing at the same time as Richard.
During an interview with investigators, Littleton said he recalled
exiting off of I-75, traveling for a period of time on a paved road and then turning on a side road made of sand where he placed the body of Gladis Russell in what he described as
"a white, glowing cotton field."
Littleton said he could see that the
sand road appeared to go up in an extreme incline, possibly up a large hill.
He saw a vehicle coming in the distance and hurried back to his car. He traveled back along the paved road through what he called "a low income area" where he discarded the body of Richard Russell (on Lightfoot Mill Rd.).
Investigators ask that all property owners check their property, especially in areas that might match the above description.
