On Monday, Feb. 1 at 6:14 p.m., a Pettis County Deputy on patrol noticed a silver four-door 2012 Ford Taurus parked on the north side of Oak Grove Lane, just west of the low water crossing. The car was facing east, and the front end of the car was in the roadway. The registration checked to a 1999 Chevy pickup. A check of the VIN showed that the vehicle was not on file, and there was no owner attached to the Taurus. It appeared that the car had been underwater, and there was water on the floorboard and had brush and leaves under the vehicle. The car was later towed by Don's Truck Towing.
