Hargon Had Inherited Land, Investigators Say

One of the leads authorities are following in their search for a missing family involves a recent inheritance.

The search for a missing Yazoo County family continued Monday morning.

The Hargon family has been missing since Feb. 14.

Michael Hargon; his wife, Rebecca; and their 4-year-old son, James Patrick, apparently vanished from their home outside Vaughan.

This weekend, three more FBI agents were assigned to help the Yazoo County sheriff in the search.

Specially trained dogs also joined the hunt, and people from across the state drove to Vaughan to lend their support and prayers.

One of the leads authorities are following involves a recent inheritance.

Michael Hargon took over the management of some land in North Madison County.

A groundskeeper on the property told 16 WAPT that he saw Hargon the same morning neighbors found the Hargon home ransacked.

Groundskeeper Bennie Brown said Hargon appeared normal.

"Mike got me taking care of the house and everything when bossman died -- Charles Hargon," Brown said. "And now, he got me in charge of all this stuff."

Brown has worked for the Hargon family for years.
