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. We are not releasing the name of the
complainant at this time since it is an active on-going investigation.
The complainant 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. The complainant, his wife, 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, the complainant left the
area to take his wife and daughter home due to the heat and no air
conditioning in the vehicle. The complainant advised deputes, he
immediately returned to the area in an attempt to locate
BURNLEY. Around 2:00 p.m. the complainant 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. We are still treating this as a search
and not a recovery. There is no evidence at this time to support
BRUNLEY has been injured or harmed.

Confusing. Is the missing "friend" the same one who took the truck, then crashed and abandoned it?
No. The missing friend, sky, was helping him look for the truck.
Will there be a test to see who comprehended all this crap on the first read and why?
Do whaaa??
Thugs.
So where is the guy that took the vehicle?
I'm still trying to figure out why you would take your wife and daughter to hunt for someone that stole your truck. Something just doesnt sound quite right here.
