The Virginia Department of Emergency Management, along with the Virginia State Police and other search organizations to include fire and EMS providers, were brought in to assist with the efforts to locate  Cash.

Cash was found with his vehicle several miles off of the main roadway in a secluded area.

The investigation into this matter is being conducted by the Augusta County Sheriff’s Office and is ongoing. No further information is being released at this time.
