McIntyre had been reported missing on Sunday, April 6, when authorities learned that a vehicle he was considering purchasing was located in the floodwaters of the Mississippi River at Caruthersville.

A Pemiscot County resident observed the rear spoiler of the vehicle sticking up out of the floodwaters at the southern end of Caruthersville.

Authorities contacted friends and relatives of McIntyre and those discussions led them to investigate at Steele. Authorities learned there might be physical evidence located in a dumpster at a business at Steele.

According to a statement released by Lt. Ryan Holder with the Pemiscot County Sheriff's office, when authorities pieced together the evidence they interviewed the two suspects and they later confessed to their involvement in the death of McIntyre.

I think that all three were involved in the murder and i think that all three should be sentenced to life in prison without parole.Because they took an innocent life that we can never get back so the state should have theirs.Just HORRIBLE!!!!!!
