was also discovered to be missing, authorities said.
Morris was a long-time business owner, a Christian radio host and grandfather. Family members want to know who could have hurt him.
"Somebody walked in on a 77-year-old man and beat him to death and left him to die," said Morris' son, Reggie Morris. "And they're still out there."
