Mississippi investigators are looking for a man suspected of killing his wife after remains believed to belong to her were found last week.
Kayla Crawford, 31, was last seen on March 24, the George County Sheriff’s Office said at the end of June. Remains were found on July 21 in the Movella community, according to WLOX, which said investigators are awaiting the results of DNA tests to confirm the identity but piercings and tattoos indicate the remains are the missing woman.
The sheriff’s office secured an arrest warrant on Thursday for Crawford’s husband, 32-year-old Jacob Kyle McIntosh, and are currently engaged in a search for him.
“McIntosh is described as a white male, approximately 5-feet-6-inches tall and weighing approximately 130 pounds, with brown hair and eyes,” the sheriff’s office said. “He has several tattoos, including the words ‘Kayla’ on his chest, ‘Jace’ on his stomach, and ‘FTW’ on his right arm.”
Investigators added that McIntosh may be driving a black, 2003 Harley Davidson Sportster 1200 with an Alabama license plate 180775M. They caution that he may have access to firearms and should be considered armed and dangerous.
“If you encounter this individual, do not approach him and contact your local law enforcement office immediately,” investigators said.
George County Sheriff Keith Havard told WLOX that McIntosh was uncooperative during the investigation into Crawford’s disappearance.
