About 75 people from a handful of law enforcement and emergency agencies searched for a 21-year-old Nelson man after his wrecked pickup truck was discovered along a county road early last Thursday morning.

Karl Grueber was reportedly driving home from "The Mill," a restaurant and bar in Deweese, when he lost control of the 1990 Ford pickup he was driving and struck a tree. The accident occurred shortly after 1 a.m. just east of Deweese on the road separating Nuckolls and Clay counties.

About an hour later, The Mill's owner, Bridget Kenley, discovered the truck on her way home and called Karl's father, Brian, a teacher at Sandy Creek.
