Rankin County Sheriff Dept needs your help! Family offers $10,000 reward.
On Saturday June 4, 2016 around 1:00 a.m. the Rankin County Sheriff’s
Office received a 911 call in reference to a stolen vehicle. The caller
stated an acquaintance of his had taken his 1988 Chevy pickup and
abandoned it on I-20 in Pearl. The vehicle was recovered by the owner,
but has sustained extensive damage. At that time, the caller also
stated that his friend, Joseph Skylar “Sky” Burnley, was missing
after tying to help located the stolen vehicle. The complainant
Travis Brewer and wife Amanda Morris advised deputies, when his truck
was stolen his cell phone was left inside. He was able to use an app to
locate the phone, which was reporting off of Bridges Road east of
Brandon and north of I-20. Travis Brewer and Amanda Morris, and four
year old daughter and BURNLEY responded to Bridges Road to search for
the vehicle. Around 10:00 a.m. Friday morning BURNLEY and the complaint
left the vehicle and reportedly went on foot in different directions to
search. After a short time, Travis left the area to take his Amanda
and daughter home due to the heat t and no air conditioning in the
vehicle. Travis and Amanda advised deputies, that he immediately
returned to the area in an attempt to locate BURNLEY. Around 2:00 p.m.
Travis discontinued his search and returned home.''
Once the Sheriff’s Office was
notified, a search team and plan was but in place. Members of the Mid
Mississippi Strike Team began to search the area on foot. We are
utilizing resources including search dogs, horses, man power, and Metro
One. We will continue the search effort until the entire area has
satisfactorily been searched.

I have faith in the RCSO.
I'm seeing holes in the stories of the couple who own the stolen truck. After they found the truck, why go tromping off in different directions through the woods? He left the area but immediately returned to try to find the (now) missing man? Nope. Nope.
" Around 10:00 a.m. Friday morning BURNLEY and the complaint left the vehicle and reportedly went on foot in different directions to search."
This is as confusing as the first thread on this topic. If they found the vehicle what were they still searching for, since that is why they supposedly split up. Then the first guy abandoned the missing guy, apparently without telling him - don't these people have cell phones?
This is very bizarre, bordering on unbelievable. I don't want to speculate since the missing man might be in danger, but other unbelievable stories have turned out to be totally different once the real facts were established.
And who is the mystery acquaintance who allegedly took the truck in the first place? Why hasn't he been named and questioned?
The couple arrested killed Burnely and they know where the body is. you can send my money to the family.
8;03 finally someone besides me is asking WHERE IS THIS AQUAINTANCE? of course there was NO AQUAINTANCE because the whole story is a lie.
The man supposedly disappeared on June 4. The picture of him in the store is dated June 6. I think it is safe to say he isn't out looking for a pickup along side the highway.
11:04 The top of the screen shows the video was taken on June 3. The bottom of the screen shows it was being watched on June 6.
Damn, and I was already spending the money.
People really do this crazy shit for the trade-in value of an old truck? Claim your truck was stolen and kill your friend in order to get $2800 from an insurance company?
This is WAY beyond fucked up. Who gets custody of the kid?
rankin county produces some weird rednecks; I am so confused.
Rankin County is widely known for three things:
1) Freezers as garbage containers on the road.
2) Every woman has or wants a Camarro.
3) Insurance fraud.
