Local CBS affiliate WRDW-TV reported that a few weeks earlier, police had visited his house for a well-being check after one of Ledford’s acquaintances asked them to check on him because no one had seen or heard from him in days.
Jackson police said when they got to his house, his car was in the driveway, and when they went into the home, they saw drawers had been pulled out in all rooms.
Police then called Fresh Market in Augusta, which is where Ledford was looking for a job at the time.
An employee says Ledford went there for a meat-cutting test and he was offered a position, but he never came back, WRDW-TV reported.
No one could find Ledford until police got the call about the smell.
