Update On Search For Missing Man
More information about that missing man in Jefferson County. 73 year old Joe Hall is from South Carolina and was here camping with his family off Upper Rhinehart Road near the Jefferson/Cocke County line over the Memorial Day weekend. Sometime during the night between Saturday night and Sunday morning Hall disappeared from the campsite. A witness told Jefferson County authorities that he had seen someone matching Hall’s description around 8am Sunday morning, but there has been no information since.
