LIBERTY CITY — A Tatum man says the body pulled from a Gregg County creek on Wednesday was that of his son. Tony Beason told the Longview News-Journal he used cellphone coordinates to find the body. His son, Tommy Dale Beason, 30, was last seen on October 27th. He was reported missing a few days later. Authorities have not confirmed that the body found in Little Caney Creek was that of Beason’s son. The body, which appears to have been in the water for some time, was badly decomposed. The body was sent to Tyler for autopsy. They will be using dental records and DNA to positively identify the body.
