 Recently, Pikeville Police Department attempted to locate a missing person within the city who was eventually found frozen to death. The individual was believed to be homeless at the time and it is unclear if they attempted to seek shelter at a warming station. Mountaintop News spoke with Pikeville Police Chief Michael Riddle to hear more details. On January 15th, the department had received a call to be on the lookout for an individual that's family had last had contact with him on January 10th. He's from out of state but he had been in the area for a little bit. The officers were somewhat familiar with this individual and they knew the area that he had frequented so they went to that area looking around places that they thought he might be, places he might get in out of the cold and they went and did ultimately find him deceased. He was under a bridge and it is believed that the brutal cold temperature was definitely a factor in his and his death. Appalachian Wireless just can't stop themselves. Give the iPhone 13 128 gig for a penny with a two year contract on the mix and match or unlimited plan. New or renewed line. While supplies last, one penny for an iPhone 13. We are you. We are Appalachian Wireless. The city of Pikeville currently has a few operating warming stations for those in need. Myers Tower and the West Care Perry Klein Shelter are accepting anyone who needs to get in from the cold. Brutal cold temperatures is, I mean, no one can survive out there in this brutal cold, but the city is working with Popple City Housing to provide a warming station and currently that is over here at Myers Towers right next to the Popple Police Department right off of Haley Boulevard and if for some reason that exceeds its capacity then they're also going to open up the fire training center and allow that to be used as a warming station also. Because we don't want people out in the cold and we want to make sure they've got a one place to go if they need to go and we want to make sure that they know that that's available.
