Sheriff issues statement on search for LeRoy Nye
The following is a release from the Hand County Sheriff’s Office, and included the following comment: “We will not be doing any interviews, as this is about LeRoy, not us.”
On May 19, 2013, LeRoy Delmer Nye left his son’s home in St. Lawrence, S.D. No one in the family knew of his departure, nor expected it. At about 7 a.m., they discovered LeRoy and a vehicle owned by the son was gone. Tracks through the yard and at the driveway indicated that LeRoy left to the east on US Highway 14, and from there his travels are left to speculation.
