Jasper County Sheriff's Department Chief Deputy Scotty Duncan announced early Tuesday afternoon that a missing Evadale man had been found dead. The discovery occurred as the Jasper County Emergency Corps and deputies were conducting a ground search. Sheriff Mitchel Newman said that the body of 37-year-old Julian Boyd was found on the ground in a clearing within the 4-Mile Hunting Club in Evadale which he entered on Saturday, but never returned. Newman said there were no obvious injuries on Boyd's body, and he said that Precinct 6 Justice of the Peace Steve Conner had ordered an autopsy. Scotty Duncan said "This is not the outcome we ever want to see, and our condolences are with the family in the days ahead."
