COLUMBIA, Missouri (KMIZ)

Columbia police say they are trying to identify two bodies found during an investigation into two missing women.

Officers are also searching for a man, Randall R. Fox, 51, of Columbia, describing him as a “person of interest” in the investigation.

Last week, officers were called to the 1700 block of Ridgemont Drive as part of a missing persons investigation. Police were trying to find Marcia Hess and Sara Fox. They found the two bodies, whose identification is still pending, the Columbia Police Department said in a press release on Wednesday.

Police say Randall Fox should be considered armed and dangerous.

Hess is described in a police post as being 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighing 185 pounds, with blue eyes and white hair. Sara Fox is described as 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighing 150 pounds, with brown eyes and brown hair.
