Winnsboro Man's Remains Identified

The remains of a Winnsboro man who went missing in 2004 were finally identified this week. via Tyler Morning Telegraph

[What a shame]

"Sherman, 21, was reported missing in April of 2004, and his skeletal remains were found but not identified the next summer. Officials ruled his death a suicide due to the lack of evidence surrounding the case, the Wood County Sheriff’s Office said."
What a shame to say this young man was classified as suicide for his death. I remember from the article that survey people found and unidentified human remains tied to a tree that was just bones. How and why would anyone do that to them selves. I think suicide should not be place by that child name that only tells me police are going to stop searching for that killer or real reason of his death. I have many times wondered if they ever found out who the person was and wondered why the paper was not following up on it. I just thought it was going to be another store like the one in 87 or 1988 when a person was burned in a bath tub I never heard who got charged for that either. That area needs better investigator or get someone from another area that know what the heck they are doing to investigate crime scenes lack of evidence is lack of training for local law inforcement in small towns no wonder.

[yep]

heard there was shotgun blast damage to the bones, they need to look at the father....who is a real loser.

[friend of deceased]

grew up with david sherman,went to school with him. he was a good guy, did many things for others. I cant prove anything but i know it was his father who killed him. HE DID IT. My friends and the world were robbed of a great person because his dad was a druggie.

David was a good guy..i met him when i was 11 and we grew up together..he then moved to winnsboro and we ran into each other again and started to hang out..his dad Tim was on drugs bad (meth) and david got into a fight with him and called the cops thats when tim got caught up with all the drugs and lost his job with the city water plant...so his dad blamed him for getting him in trouble..thats when david disappeared..when we asked tim about david he told us he ran off in a cult..please...and the police in winnsboro are so stupid to even do anything about it...i hope justice gets served so my buddy can rest in peace....miss u sherm

"No investigation? "omg ! Call in outside forces to investigate and hold Winnsboro PD accountable !
They are a joke, Sad tax payers are paying for them to serve and protect, when they can't even spell.
You must read their police reports !
Guess it's the best the hillbillys can do !
What a joke !

[People are idiots]

To susan and Curtiss morris friend~

You two people are complete morons! This case was NOT Winnsboro PD's case! It was Wood County S.O.'s case!

[to people are idiots]

you seem to be the moron..if you knew winnsboro u already knew that wood county came in and took over winnsboro so wood county or winnsboro is exactly the same thing now so MORON...

[Someone you do not know]

No, I am not the moron, you are. Winnsboro is in Wood County. Winnsboro has their own police department. This young man's remains were found OUTSIDE the city limits of Winnsboro, therefore making it a case belonging to the Wood County Sheriff's Department.

WCSO never took over Winnsboro P.D. and there was NEVER a lapse in police chiefs at Winnsboro after Hollingsworth was let go or resigned, whichever it was. I personally know the current Chief of Police in Winnsboro, the Lieutenant and the Sergeant at the Winnsboro Police Department, along with EVERY police officer on the payroll of the City of Winnsboro. So how can there be payroll at the Winnsboro Police Department if it was taken over by the Wood County Sheriff's Department.

Who's the ass clown now? I would say it's not me!

[to people are idiots]

where do u think all the officers came from,,i can name you 5 officers right off the bat.all transfered to winnsboro stupid ass..lol no need to talk to the ignorant..

[Someone you do not know]

So you're saying that 5, which is more than half the department worked at WCSO? That's funny. There's only 2 officers at W.P.D. that worked as deputies at WCSO and that's the Chief and the Lieutenant and the LT. hasn't worked there since Bill Skinner was the sheriff of Wood County.

3 officers came from Hopkins; 1 came from Dallas County; 1 came from Red River County; 1 came from Oklahoma and challenged the state test; 1 got his start at W.P.D.

You really haven't got a clue what you are talking about and who you are responding to. If you were smart, which you're not, you'd quit responding about something you know nothing about.
