PHILADELPHIA - Authorities are trying to identify the body of a pilot found in the wreckage of a yellow-and-blue crop-duster that crashed in northeastern Neshoba County.

Winston County Sheriff Randy Thomas says his deputies discovered the wreckage about 5:30 p.m. Monday near the Winston, Kemper and Neshoba county lines.

Authorities believe the pilot may be 48-year-old Monty Hudson, who was flying from Greenville, Ala., to Jonesboro, Ark., when his plane disappeared Friday.

Air and ground teams had searched for the missing plane over a wide area of eastern Mississippi and western Alabama. Poor weather had limited the search on Monday.
