According to The Anniston Star, volunteers searching for missing Lincoln teenager Ben Stanford this afternoon found the body of a young white man in clothing similar to what Stanford was last seen wearing.
The discovery came at the end of a search by more than 100 volunteers who combed through a wooded area South of Interstate 20 near Villa Rica, Ga., more than a week after Stanford was last seen in Anniston.
Carroll County Chief Deputy Brad Robinson confirmed volunteers had found the body of the young man, about three-quarters of a mile from where Stanford’s 2007 Jeep Cherokee was found Nov. 5, a few hours after he failed to show up for class at the Donoho School in Anniston. Robinson said authorities could not yet positively identify the body as Stanford.

Please keep Ben's family in your thoughts and prayers.
