Since Tuesday we've been following the disappearance of John Hamrick. That case quickly changed to a homicide investigation on Friday when Hamrick's body was found on the property of his neighbor, Charlie Barnes, 81. Now Barnes is charged with second-degree murder, armed criminal action, and abanodonment of a corpse.

The search for Hamrick started Tuesday and ended Friday in the woods on Barnes' land. Family can't understand how they could lose a loved one over a property dispute.

"This just doesn't make sense," said Cherrie Hake, Hamrick's daughter.

"Apparently, Mr. Barnes would erect the fence in a place Mr. Hamrick didn't think it belonged, and apparently Mr. Hamrick would, at times, remove the fence or cut the fence, or at least Mr. Barnes believed that," said Wright County Prosecuting Attorney Jason MacPherson.

The fence at a sharp bend on Logan Road was the source of the dispute between Hamrick and Barnes. Neighbors in the area say there used to be an old road there that led back to a cemetery but they say the land belonged to Hamrick.

"It is deeded property but it's right in between two people's property, and it's like a large driveway basically," said Hake.

Small pieces of glass on the road mark the spot where detectives believe Barnes shot his neighbor. The glass matches that in Hamrick's pickup, found in a parking lot in Lebanon. That glass also led detectives to Barnes' driveway.

"The officer standing outside the gate could see the glass continued down his drive," said MacPherson.

Investigators also found a utility vehicle on Barnes' property that they believe the 81-year-old man may have used to drag Hamrick's body into the woods.

Family members are glad the search is over.

"We needed to find him. We needed to bring daddy home some way," said Hake.

They can't believe the reason their time with him was cut short.

"I will miss everything about my dad. My dad was one of those dads that you don't see a lot anymore. Daddy grew up at a whole different timeframe and he believed, as a dad and a husband, you protect, you provide, and you guide, and that's exactly what he did," Hake said.

The investigation is ongoing, and the prosecutor and family both say there are still unanswered questions, like how Barnes would have gotten back home after taking Hamrick's truck to Lebanon. So detectives are still looking for another person who was involved and whether that person knew about the crime.

The prosecutor says Barnes has been arrested before but has no prior convictions. Investigators seized firearms from Barnes' property but won't know what weapon was used until after the autopsy on Monday.
