Authorities in Burke County are launching a search today for the body of a man who has been missing since 2003.
A team of officers from the Burke County Sheriff's Office, the county rescue squad and the State Bureau of Investigation will scour 20 acres of land in the county for the body of Jackie Edward Orders of Morganton, said Detective Sgt. Robert Beall of the Burke County Sheriff's Office.
Two wells, and possibly a pond, will also be searched for human remains, Beall said. Crime-scene specialists, forensic anthropologists, a forensic pathologist and a standby biologist will assist.
Orders disappeared in November 2003 and authorities suspect foul play, Beall said.
