Authorities are trying to identify the body of a pilot
found in the wreckage of a yellow-and-blue
crop-duster that crashed in northeastern Neshoba County.

Winston County Sheriff Randy Thomas says his deputies discovered
the wreckage about 5:30 p.m. Monday near the Winston, Kemper and
Neshoba county lines.

Authorities believe the pilot may be 48-year-old Monty Hudson,
who was flying from Greenville, Ala., to Jonesboro, Ark., when his
plane disappeared Friday.

Air and ground teams had searched for the missing plane over a
wide area of eastern Mississippi and western Alabama. Poor weather
had limited the search on Monday.
