Hunt County Sheriff Terry Jones has released a statement ahead of Wednesdayâs fourth anniversary of the disappearance of Michael Chambers.
âThe Hunt County Sheriffâs Office continues to follow up on every lead into his disappearance. The 70-year-old disappeared on March 10, 2017 from his home in the 7000 block of FM 2101. Chambers was seen on surveillance entering, making a purchase and then leaving the Wal-Mart located at 8801 State Highway 34 in Quinlan, TX. Chambers has not been seen or heard from since.
Chambersâ wife reported him missing after returning home from work that evening to an empty house, Mrs. Chambers said she had spoken to her husband around 8 a.m. the day he went missing. Chambers was last seen wearing black pants, a blue t-shirt and a blue baseball cap. Chambers is 6 foot 3 inches tall and weighs 225 pounds. He has blue eyes and balding gray hair.
Area first responders have been doing more than usual during the ice storm, working non-stop to deal with traffic accidents and helping people who had to manage with no heat.
As Hunt County residents managed to deal with rolling blackouts, low to now water pressure and the coldest weather in decades, area first responders handled emergencies for everything ranging from fires to busted pipes to stranded animals.
And while the end may be nearing for the worst winter storm in recent memory, the after effects are expected to be around for quite some time.
As of press time Thursday, the City of Greenville and several nearby communities were under boil water notices due to low water pressure issues, which may have been resolved. The Texas Commission on Environment Quality requires water-providing entities to notify customers to boil water in certain instances when water provided might contain bacteria or other microbes.
