Justice for Bradley Lard - Part II

 

The last time anyone saw Bradley Eugene Lard alive was February 28, 2019 (some accounts use the date March 1st). He was walking near County Road 157 in Lauderdale County. Bradley's mother and sister reported him missing on April 3, 2019.

Months passed with no word on Mr. Lard's whereabouts. Gov. Kay Ivey offered a $5,000.00 reward for information leading to recovering Brad. The family made posts asking for hunters to be vigilant as they traversed nearby wooded areas in case Mr. Lard's body had been discarded in the high vegetation.

More months passed. Then on December 6th, a hunter found Brad's body near Cloverdale. Now that Bradley's body has been recovered, the major question is how he met his death.

From the Charley Project:

Lard was last seen at a friend's residence on Highway 157 in Cloverdale, Alabama, where he'd gone there to get a job, on February 28, 2019. The people at the residence said Lard left with a man named Billy and they took his girlfriend home to Waterloo, Alabama. It's unclear whether he ever returned to the Cloverdale residence. He has never been heard from again.

It's uncharacteristic of Lard to leave without warning. He had no cellular phone, credit cards or bank accounts at the time of his disappearance, making him difficult to track. Although he had been known to walk for great distances, he always kept in regular touch with family and friends and never went a day without talking to someone.
