Dad Offers $10,000 Reward In Search For Missing Vian Man

The Sequoyah County Sheriff says the father of a Vian man missing since March 2014 is offering a $10,000 reward for information about his son.

Sheriff Ron Lockhart says Judge Will, 39, was last seen walking out the back door of his home in the East Lake Hills addition north of Vian, near Tenkiller State Park to talk on a cell phone. 

Jim Will, who lives in Tulsa, told KFSM, the CBS affiliate in Fort Smith, he doesn't believe his son is alive but still wants answers.

Immediately after he was reported missing, deputies and volunteers searched more than 500 acres near Judge Will's home.

Lockhart said investigators have interviewed several people who were the last to see Judge Will alive and his deputies have several persons of interest in the case, but will not release their names. 

A few months ago, a woman who works at a Sequoyah County convenience store told someone she may know where Judge Will was buried, but a search of that area turned up nothing, according to the sheriff.

Lockhart said there has not been any activity on Judge Will’s cell phone or bank accounts since his disappearance.
