Deputies in Maries County are looking for a missing man, whose phone last pinged in their area.

Brandon Bourbon was reported missing from Washington County on Saturday. Ping data from his phone placed him in Maries County late Sunday night. Bourbon is believed to be driving a silver 2005 Chrysler minivan.
