Body of missing Lore City man John Sigman found Friday evening

CAMBRIDGE − The body of John Sigman was discovered Friday evening by a woman riding an ATV in a wooded area around Killbuck Lane. His truck was also in the area, according to Guernsey County Sheriff Jeffrey Paden.

The 77-year-old Lore City man was reported missing on May 13 by his daughter, Shannon Sigman-West. She was worried about not being able to reach her by phone the day before, she told the Daily Jeffersonian. When she went to his house the next day, she noticed that his truck was also missing. That's when Sigman-West called the sheriff's office.

Sigman does not have a cell phone, social media accounts or credit/debit cards. He recently started having memory problems, Sigman-West said.

The sheriff's office has been investigating the case ever since.

An autopsy will be performed by the Licking County Medical Examiner's Office.

“This is not the outcome anyone wanted and my condolences go out to Mr. Sigman’s family at this difficult time,” Paden said. This case remains under investigation pending autopsy results.
