Remains of missing Missouri Valley man found, arrest made
How to report a missing person
Here’s how to take action when a person goes missing.
The remains of a Missouri Valley man, missing for nearly three years, were found by law enforcement in April.
Jesse George, 35, was reported missing on June 29, 2023. The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation, in conjunction with the Missouri Valley Police Department and the Harrison County Sheriff’s Office continued to investigate his disappearance, according to a news release from the Iowa DCI.
On April 15, 2026, law enforcement excavated a location four miles northwest of Missouri Valley where human remains were found, the release said. The remains were positively identified as George’s and the Iowa State Medical Examiner ruled his death a homicide.
Joseph Langford, 52, also of Missouri Valley, was arrested by the Iowa DCI in George’s death on Monday, May 18. He was charged with first-degree murder and abuse of a corpse.
An investigation into George’s death is ongoing.
Langford admitted to killing, burying body to others
George was last seen with Langford near a camper around Fourth Street in Missouri Valley on the morning of June 29, 2023. Langford later admitted the two had an argument in the camper, according to court filings.
Later that morning, around 4:30 a.m., Langford had a friend help move a car that was parked in front of the camper. Langford was armed with a rifle and wouldn’t let his friend in the camper, the court filing said. He later told the same friend that “somebody’s gone, they’re not coming back, and I’m going to prison.”
Langford and his sister took the camper to an Interstate 29 rest area, where they were both employed, and cleaned the camper, according to the court filings.
A report to local law enforcement was made about the camper. Upon arrival, law enforcement saw bullet holes in the side of the camper, and blood was observed in the camper. The camper was processed by law enforcement at that time. Forensic testing determined the blood to be George’s.
About a year later, Langford admitted to killing George to another friend, the court filings said. He also told a coworker he had shot and killed George in the camper. He also admitted to burying George’s body behind the rest area.
An autopsy determined George had been shot multiple times.
Langford is in the custody of the Harrison County Jail on a $1 million cash bond, with a court appearance scheduled for May 27.

Twelve people killed in Missouri plane crash, state highway patrol says | The Jerusalem Post
Twelve people reportedly died in a plane crash on Sunday in Butler, Missouri, the state highway patrol said on social media.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol said the crash occurred near the Butler Memorial Airport.
“At this time reports indicate all occupants (12 total) have perished,” the agency wrote in a post on X/Twitter.
The plane that crashed was a Pacific Aerospace 750XL, a single-engine turboprop that is popular for skydiving, the Associated Press noted.
The plane was taking people to skydive, Patrol Sergeant Justin Ewing told the media.
Emergency responders received a call at approximately 11:30 a.m. that the plane was down and engulfed in fire, Ewing added, calling the scene “brutal.”
“It landed in a field adjacent to the airport, but I think they’re shutting down the roadway just as a precaution,” AP cited Ewing as saying.
Butler is about 60 miles south of Kansas City, Missouri.
