A highway marker that was just put up to honor Louisiana blues legend Buddy Guy is missing. Pointe Coupee Parish Tourist Commission executive director Jeanie Andre says the roadside marker was last seen on the ground after it was knocked down by a vehicle that drove off the road.
“They thought at first that maybe the wrecker’s service picked it up and safely stored it, but under investigation they ruled that out, so it’s missing,” said Andre.
The sign was unveiled on December seventh and it was once standing along LA 418 in Lettsworth, the hometown of the eight-time Grammy award winner. Andre says the tourist attraction means a lot to them.
“He’s a famous man, he was proud of his hertiage and where he came from and he’s accomplished a lot in his lifetime, so we would just like it safely returned,” said Andre.
Andre says if someone returns the Buddy Guy highway marker no questions will be asked and the person will not face any charges.
The sheriff’s office is investigating.
