Case Circumstances
Held was last seen in the vicinity of Highway 302 and Highway 51 on January 4, 2011, at about 12 p.m. He had just gotten his hair cut at B.J.'s Barbershop in Horn Lake, Mississippi. He was driving a maroon 2007 Chevy Silverado. On September 22, 2011, Held's vehicle was pulled from the Mississippi River near Bass Landing. Held's body was not inside the truck. Officials believe that Held's body was forced out of the vehicle by the current through a busted window or that while trying to escape the wrecked vehicle was swept away by the current.
