Disappearance in 1999 of Gary McCullough revisited

Well... Praying and believing in what is right will soon work its way out in the end.... For the people who has suffered due to a loss of a loved one, will one day find the answers to the questions they long to find.... Here is a quote of inspiration that keeps me going and maybe help any of you.

"Between you and every goal that you wish to achieve, there is a series of obstacles, and the bigger the goal, the bigger the obstacles. Your decision to be, have and do something out of the ordinary entails facing difficulties and challenges that are out of the ordinary as well. Sometimes your greatest asset is simply your ability to stay with it longer than anyone else."

God bless, and keep praying!

I have visited the site and their is no way of posting a pic on their but if anyone wants to know what my sis looks like she has a Myspace that someone set up for her .... her name is Lena and she is posted in the Greenforest Berryville Ark. area the pic is of her and a guy friend, thanks to all who have showed interest in the dissaperance of Gary and Lena at least someone besides myself truely cares

Do you mind telling us when and where she was last seen and who saw her last? Or about the last day anyone heard from her?

Why doesn't the link of the story in the newspaper article work?

Looks as if there are several people missing in this area and you NEVER hear anything about them!

Hasn't the thought occurred to you that they don't want to be around you?

I grew up in the Pierce City area and Gary McCullough'a name sounds familiar. If any of you have time could you please refresh me about what happened? Thanks!

I worked with Sandy at Georges and she hid her vehicle at my home many times so that she could have an affair with a co-work his name was Darrin he was one of our supervisors. I had always been told by Sandy that Gary was abusive physically and mentally so I never felt bad about helping her hide her affair but after I met Gary I realized that Sandy was a liar and that Gary was a caring devoted Father and husband. I moved from Missouri in the early months of 1998, but kept in close contact with friends and family in MIssouri. When I heard he was missing I knew immediately that Sandy was involved and had never really thought about a conversation she and I had years ago until I read this story. Sandy while at my home in Nov. of 1997 had made a comment that she could kill Gary and get away with it by getting rid of his body at work, out back we had a building that contained tanks where unused chicken guts where kept in waiting to be hauled off for dog food she always said that because of her relationships with higher ups it would be no issue for her to dump him (Gary) in peice by peice after all that is where he deserves to be in a dogs shit because that is the way he treated her ( her own words).I mean you never really think someone is capable of doing something so cruel espeacially someone you trusted and befriended and brought in arround your children.

If any of your story is true, you damned well ought to have reported it to the police instead of spreading it on here.

My name is Amanda my husband 6 years ago went missing we did find him a month after he went missing! It seems as though this could have been my story it resembels my story so much! I want to let everyone here in mo know the police here have no idea how to search for a missing person if they find them it is by accident or the families insistance! I begged for help finding him it was a week into it when the police finally did flyers i was not impressed with the police at all! John was found finally in a ditch of the highway he was dead they said he was there the whole time for a month! I have a hard time with this because there were houses not far from where he was found they had to check the mail and noone saw him! Oh the story doesn't end there my daughter this past year when she was 15 ranaway this time the police was just downright lazy! It took me 3 weeks to get her on the missing childrens data base ! I was told it wasn't the police job to put her on it! Keep in mind I was in contact with the missing childrens center every day! I had to step the police in helping track her myspace page and everthing else it was a nightmare I had to live through twice we finally found my daughter a day after we got her in the data base !

justice, do you have a newspaper article or anything. Sounds interesting that they couldn't find him and he wasn't to far. Did you have kids together or was this your daughter? Sorry for your loss and I hope you find peace.

Brandi, if you are her sister how come you spell her name as Lena?

Yes I did I am in the middle of moving he had a very active family and friends if was in2003 and yes we have 3 children together they all are doing well but the youngest has some issues with everything and it was hard for her and still is! She is the one who ran away ! I think the police in this area are lacking the knowledge of how to search for missing people they need more training and it is out there through the missing persons place they just have to ask for it! If you search neosho daily news for august thur september you will find articles back in 2003 his name was John johnson

that is how she wrote it all the time

This IS Lena's sister!, Lena has always spelt her name short as Lena Mae,,, but on her birth certificate it is spelt different....Whats an ignorant question to ask anyways Marcus!

the bottom line....no one REALLY knows ANYTHING AT ALL!!! bottom line and no one ever will.

NO thats not true that NO ONE REALLY KNOWS ANYTHING AT ALL! what is true is that no one has DONE anything at all!!!!

would drag me and my sister lena across the floor by our hair and get us out of bed to milk cattle if we were 5 miniuts late of getting up, Gary , on one occation had me on my tip toes with thumbtacks under my feet in the corner calling me horrable names for not doing the dishes and not watering his damn walker dogs..... then one time he grabbed my cat by the head and snapped it like a whip and killed it right in front of my face b/c i was playing with it and not hoeing thorn bushes in the field.

Sounds to me like "Earl had to die". Good ridence of bad rubish. A guy that is that sick in the head to do the things you mentioned above needs to be put down.. Your town should be celebrating. The job of a mother is to protect their children from monsters like that.
Brandi I think you could use some psychotherapy. It appears in your post that you are relating to this monster on some level Stockholm Syndrome comes to mind. If this "failure of a father figure" had drug anyone around by the hair that wasn't related to him he'd be in prison. If he'd snapped anyone elses animals neck he'd be prosecuted for animal cruelty & since it was your cat and you of course were traumitized by that it's called "child abuse".
Something to also keep in mind is that someone who picks on or lords over creatures or people that are smaller then themselves is simply a coward with low self-esteem who prays apon others to make himself feel like a man (he's pathetic). I doubt if he would have had the balls to grab up a man of his same size and drag them around by their hair. He wasn't tring to teach you anything... he was just tring to prop up his own inadequacy's and poor self esteem. Did you ever notice that self confident men are kind and gentle, and cowards with low self-esteem pray apon women and children to prop up there ego.
As for your sister. I hope she got away from the whole sicko mess and found people that treated her as people should treat each other.
I'm an out of stater just surfing the internet and came accross all this distrubing post. If these posts were not real and just a attempt at maybe getting on Jerry Springer then carry on and ignore my post.
Cheers

"OUT OF TOWNER" how dare you, I am Brandi's sister and it was not as bad as you seem to think we had to work for what we got.. Heat we cut wood for food we raised chickens , cows, hogs should i be in jail for snapping chickens necks at the age of 12 for food cruelity to animals i dont think so.. we had no time to mess around with cute little kitties come on Gary loved animals we didnt have time to mess with dogs that were preg. and got dumped off at our house or little kitties that wondered to the farm as for therapy for my sister i agree but not for Gary "abusing" her its beacuse all the other bull shit we had to put upwith all our lives so dont ever refer to the only man i ever called dad besides my real dad "rubish" he was not a failure as a father he tought me to stand up for myself how to be strong be indipendant at a young age and not turn to drugs when something didnt go my way I am who I am today beacuse of Gary McCullough and PROUD OF IT
