Search for second missing man ends in tragedy

Lewis County Sheriff reported his department responded to a call from the wife of a missing man in the Haist Road area on Tuesday, July 21, 2020.

Barry Jerome Zaremsky, 76, had been observed by neighbors walking away from his vehicle at the intersection of Haist Road and Trace Creek Road on July 20. A motor vehicle accident was worked by THP, but no one was at the scene.

Helicopters, canine units, and searchers on horseback were utilized in a search for the man, Sheriff Dwayne Kilpatrick stated Monday.

Mr. Zaremsky's body was located in a wooded area two days later within 500 feet of his home, reportedly by a man who was on horseback. An autopsy has been requested by Medical Examiner Dr. Joey Hensley.
