Fire response results in location of body in Marion County

A Saturday night fire in the Oakland area led to the discovery of a body the next morning. The unidentified male was reportedly found just north of the residence located on the property.

According to Marion County Sheriff Gregg Alexander, 911 received a call at after 8 Saturday evening from a concerned neighbor reporting an out-of-control fire at some property adjacent to Arkansas Highway 202. The fire consumed some outbuildings and several acres surrounding the buildings. Attempts to locate and contact the property owner were unsuccessful, but first responders had reason to believe the owner had been on the property.

Due to inclement weather conditions Saturday night, a search was planned for Sunday. The Oakland Volunteer Fire Department responded again around 7 that morning due to a fire flare up and subsequently located the body.
