Two Arrested, One Charged in Connection With Missing Cairo Man

The Greene County Sheriff’s Office has announced significant developments in the investigation of a missing Cairo man.  Unfortunately, the investigation has now turned into a homicide case involving multiple arrests.

According to the press release, the Town of Cairo Police Department began investigating a missing-persons report on November 18, 2025. The case involved Roger Pitt, 69, of Cairo, who was initially believed to have packed his belongings and left the area in his 1987 Mercedes-Benz.

However, investigators quickly discovered inconsistencies between those claims and information coming from Pitt’s family. As the search intensified, the Greene County Sheriff’s Office took over the investigation, and search warrants were executed on Pitt’s property.
