Larry Fennell, a 38-year-old Guyton resident and first cousin of the man found shot to death in Pooler on Tuesday, walked into the Effingham County sheriff's office Wednesday night.
He'd been missing for more than 36 hours.
Pooler police chief Mark Revenew said Fennell is not considered a suspect in the killing of 27-year-old Timothy Moore, of Pooler.
“We’re following all leads, but there’s nothing to indicate any correlation” between Fennell’s disappearance and Moore’s killing, Revenew said.
Effingham County sheriff’s office spokesman David Ehsanipoor said Fennell called a family member and “indicated he was in distress” near the intersection of Interstate 95 and Ga. 204 about 6:30 a.m. Tuesday. Citing the pending investigation into Fennell’s disappearance, Ehsanipoor said he couldn’t provide information on what sort of distress Fennell indicated to a family member.
Ehsanipoor said law enforcement and Fennell’s family searched the Interstate 95 and Ga. 204 area Tuesday and Wednesday. The sheriff's office sent out an alert Wednesday afternoon, seeking Fennell's whereabouts.
Fennell walked into the Effingham County sheriff’s office about 8 p.m. Wednesday. Ehsanipoor said he was in good health but he couldn’t say where Fennell had been.
