Case no. 1
Name: Harold “Harry” Knox
Type of the case: Missing person – bad game suspected
Date: December 2023
Status: Under active examination
______________________
One evening in December 2023, 60-year-old Harold Knox left the house of a friend in the South Hazel Street near the city center of Ruston. The police believe that he goes to his house in South Farmerville Street.
That was the last confirmation of Harold “Harry” Knox.
As a long -time resident of Ruston, Knox grew up in the community. He was known to his circle of acquaintances and was very popular, paid his bills on time and did not bother others.
Within a few days, friends and family noticed that Harold was missing. His disappearance was reported to the Ruston police on December 5th. At that time he was described as legal blind and had suffered a head injury a few years earlier. He was last seen how he was wearing a red and gray checkered shirt, blue jeans and boots.
The Ruston police examined, but the case did not go anywhere.
About two months ago, the police announced that the investigators had developed new information about the case and that these leads actively followed.
Laborders said that she received a search order for a place in the municipality of Lincoln based on the information.
Despite the new tour, Laborde said that all information from the public, large or small could make a critical difference.
When examining an old case, Laborde said that the work as an investigator begins to speak to people who were nearby in the incident.
“There is another case that I am currently working on an old murder case, and only by spoke to the victim's mother could open a lead that had not been persecuted. Actually, I am actually working on it today. We have just returned a search order, and I have to go through it and I can see what evidence I can find.”
“We interviewed people again [on the Knox case]Spoken with other, verified reports, carried out a search for an identified location, published information on social media and asked for help. “Labure said.
Labrede said that cold cases move slowly because leads can only be persecuted when they are identified. If a crime occurs, many leads can exist early, but if they are persecuted and leads are exhausted, it is difficult to advance without new information.
“I run more ways in the case of Knox,” said Laborde. She described an investigation plan that the Lincoln Parish Journal will not reveal here.
Laborde suspects that it will play in Knox 'disappear, but she hopes that the truth will come out.
Laborde said of her passion for old, unresolved cases that she was determined.
“I will be optimistic until there are no more leads that I can run down,” said Laborde. “I give it 100% like, for a lack of words, a dog with bones. They are cold cases, no closed cases. I think we can always do something.”
“We will never stop. I look at all of these older cases as if they were my family,” said Laborde. “If this were my family, I want the detectives to do their best. And I do that for these families.”
Laborde demands everyone who saw Knox in December 2023 or has information that could help in this case. If you have details that could help with this examination, contact Hannah Laborde at 318-255-4141. Labure said that everyone who felt uncomfortable to get to the police station.
