James Roger TantREWARD OFFEREDA reward is offered for information on the whereabouts of 54-year-old James Roger Tant, who last was heard from on March 10, 2012. Anyone with any information about Tant’s location is asked to contact the Marion County Sheriff’s Office at 423-942-2525 or the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation at 1-800-TBI-FIND or 1-800-824-3463.
Family members and law enforcement personnel hope a $6,000 reward will produce information that leads them to missing South Pittsburg resident James Roger Tant, who hasn’t been heard from in more than seven months.
Tant, 54, of Hewgleys Road on South Pittsburg Mountain, has been missing since March 10. There have been no significant leads on his whereabouts, authorities say.
Tennessee Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Kristin Helm said Wednesday there was “nothing new to release on the case” as the TBI’s crime lab continues to analyze items officials in Marion County turned over for examination.
A major ground search in September involving emergency crews, divers and cadaver dogs to probe the mountainside near Tant’s home turned up nothing helpful, and there have been few leads since. That means investigators need help from the public, according to Sheriff Ronnie “Bo” Burnett.
