KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Grandview police said family members found a missing person deceased four days after a car crash.

Wednesday night around 9 p.m., police were called to a crash scene in the 13700 block of Byars Road.

They found that a person had left the scene for unknown reasons.

They were not found during a search that night.

Two days later, police got word the person had not been heard from since the crash.
