UPDATE: 6:00 PM December 9, 2021

The St. Louis County Sherriff's Department shared a sad update to this story of a missing person earlier this week.

William Terry, who hadn't been seen since November 27, had been reported missing this week. After an ongoing search, officials reported they found Terry on December 9, reporting that he had apparently died by suicide.

The report from the sheriff's department explained that after they had received new information about the layout of his home, deputies with the county conducted a second search. During this search, they located his body in what their report calls a "previously undiscovered hidden room".

The department says the incident does not appear to be suspicious and they don't suspect foul play.
