A body pulled from an Effingham County pond Wednesday has been identified as that of a man reported missing nearly a year ago. Hunters discovered the body of James Tebeau of Springfield in a pond between Old Tusculum Road and Highway 119, and Effingham County Sheriff’s deputies were called out to the scene around 9 a.m. ECSO investigators and members of the Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Department investigated and retrieved the body from the water. The body was taken to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation’s state crime lab in Savannah.
