Death of Neosho man found beneath pile of debris labeled a homicide

(From the Newton County Sheriff's Office)

On Saturday 05-30-20 the Newton County Sheriff’s Office responded to a Neosho address in reference to a deceased person.

Deputies responded to 15726 Finch Drive at 1:36PM. A neighbor had located a body partially hidden beneath a pile of debris on the property.

The victim has been identified as Robert L. Bryant, of that address. He is a white male, 55 years of age.








Family members said he had not been seen since the previous Sunday but that he had not been reported missing yet.

This is being investigated as a homicide. An autopsy is scheduled for later this week. Newton County Detectives obtained a search warrant for the victim’s property and processed the scene. They have collected evidence and are now conducting interviews.

The investigation is continuing at this time. We encourage anyone having information on this incident to contact the Newton County Sheriff’s Office.

-Sheriff Chris Jennings
