Graves County Sheriff Jon Hayden said
his office, along with several other agencies, searched the areas
known to be where Samantha Sperry was last seen. Hayden said the task
force of officers wanted to take a fresh look at everything,
including the Kaler bottoms area. Hayden said crews conducted searches on foot, ATV's and horseback throughout the day.
Those assisting in Monday's search
include the Kentucky State Police, Calloway County Sheriff's Office,
McCracken County Sheriff's Office, the Graves County Rescue Squad,
Calloway County Fire and Rescue, Graves County Emergency Management
and the Mayfield Police Department.
Sperry went missing on March 27, 2018, and the Graves County Sheriff’s Office opened a missing persons case two days later when her family reported her missing. Sperry was reportedly last seen on KY 131 near Kaler on March 27, 2018.
According to a 2018 press release from the Graves County Sheriff's Office, Sperry and a man, Rhen Hendrickson, were both initially reported missing. Hendrickson's vehicle was later found abandoned on Dooms Chapel Road, south of Symsonia.
Deputies said Hendrickson walked up to
a home on Tim Road near Kaler, and was dehydrated and suffering from
hypothermia. He was transported to a local hospital for treatment of
his injuries. Sperry was reportedly with Hendrickson at the time of
his disappearance but was not with him when he was located.
Anyone with any information regarding Sperry's disappearance is asked to contact the Graves County Sheriff's Office.
