Georgia man Cody Daniel Jackson charged with murder despite lack of body

KNOXVILLE, Ga. -- Authorities have arrested a middle Georgia man in the slaying of another man whose body hasn't been located.

Georgia Bureau of Investigation Agent Gary Rothwell says 21-year-old Cody Daniel Jackson of Musella is accused of killing 22-year-old James Dudley "Trey" Byers of Reynolds.

Rothwell says the two left a Fort Valley residence together early on Dec. 29 in Jackson's pickup truck. The vehicle was found bued a few hours later.

Jackson was served Thursday with the arrest warrant at the Crawford County jail, where he was already in custody for an unrelated probation violation. No bond has been set.

Investigators are still gathering information and want to find Byers' remains.
