Missing West Virginia schoolteacher suspected of vanishing
Pezine, 22, a school teacher from Morgantown trained in Morgantown University, left his home Monday morning to teach at Coburn's Fork and was last seen crossing a hill near Darnold's farm half a mile from the school. A large search by neighbors and authorities failed to find him, with speculation he may have taken a position in Clarksville News Office. He is described as 5 feet 10 inches tall, 160 pounds, black hair and eyes, bearing a distinctive birthmark and a torn vest. Authorities continue to search and alert nearby towns for sightings.
