Missing Man’s Body Found

TROUP — The body of a missing Cherokee County man has been found. Investigators are trying to determine the cause of death. The body of Steven L Dowdy, 62, was found Wednesday afternoon in his car in a wooded area off Highway 110, about five miles south of Troup. It appears as if he had been there nearly a week. The body has been sent to a Dallas area lab for autopsy. Dowdy was reportedly last seen at 7:30am on November 11. Relatives were concerned because they say he needed medical care and medication that he did not have with him.
