DECATUR, Ala. -- Decatur police are searching for one of their own who went missing from his office Friday night.
Officers found signs of a struggle between Sgt. Faron Eugene White and another person in his office at the Decatur Police Department Training Center, where he was working alone that night, police spokesman Lt. Jonathan Green said in a statement this morning.

My Wife and I are still in shock as this happened across the street from our house.
Wow, now this is bizarre. Its straight out of a movie script. I hope it all turns out well, but I can’t help thinking its some kind of a hoax, because this kind of thing just doesn’t happen.
Did anyone from the dept come to your home to ask if you saw anything?
Also how about survallance camaras in the PD and out on the street?
Boy lotsa ???? here.
Please ping me if the puzzle gets sovled. Juct curious.
domestic issues?
Please, God, see him home safely and soon. Please comfort his family and friends at this time. Please, God, keep him safe from harm.
It would be my guess that they have an idea of who/what happened. Otherwise I cannot imagine them not stopping to ask questions.
Prayers for Officer White and his family. God bless LE to resolve this successfully and quickly.
Maybe they are not at that part in the training manual to ask nieghbors Did You See anything.
/just kidding
Hey I bet as a civil law abiding American it is kinda cool to have the PD training center as neighbors.
Then again a crime may have happen right under their nose there at the dept.
The missing fellow is a big girth guy for his height so I would guess he wasn’t rolled in a carpet and carried out.
What a mystery story you have on the block there.
We live in a non eventful community when it comes to crime outside of domestic dramas so it would really shake us up if that happen here.
WOW. My sister lives in Decatur (actually they moved to a little town not far from there).
I do have two nephews who live in the town, as well as my sis’s elderly in laws, and have visited there often.
This is a very strange story, and very little info is given in the news articles.
Hope you and yours will be alert and stay safe, since you are so close.
Do they ever toss a morgue cadaver in a ditch to make the training more realistec? (dont answer that I am being a wise aleck)
LOL. Actually criminal justice departments at several universities do that (not from morgues, but donated bodies).
The most famed, and the first such facility, in the country is near here in Knoxville, TN. The “Body Farm,” a tract near the UT campus in Knoxville, has corpses scattered all over it, in various stages of decomposition, for scientific study.
The farm has been the subject of several novels, and I think the new TV series, “Bones,” is based on this facility.
You should google the Body Farm and read an old article from the “Knoxville News Sentinel” from the 1990s about a doped up crook who decided to break into the facility, not knowing what it was.
They found him the next day (he had broken into a shed on the property and was hiding under a desk inside), curled in a fetal position, rocking back and forth and muttering to himself. Can you IMAGINE what this guy thought when he got in there and saw decaying bodies in bodies of water, in the back of car trunks, laying in the open . . . This was one of the most hilarious articles I have ever read, was really well written by the reporter covering the story.
I bet that crook NEVER committed another breaking and entering after this experience!!!
Interesting about the Body Farm.
And the doper? LOL Hopefully Scared Straight.
Boy if that didnt clue him in to his future nothing will.
I have written on my advanced directive to send my carcuss up to the medical school. I think I will add or the Body Farm. : )
