UPDATE 2 p.m.: The body has reportedly been found located near Pizza Hut and I-70 in a field close to McDonald’s.
CLARK CO., Ill.—There’s been yet another body found in Clark County, which is becoming famous for being the place to dispose of them, apparently.
The body found is being termed “skeletal remains” by authorities.
Officials have only released that the remains were found in an area in or around Casey; nothing more specific has been issued.
The news of the remains came on the heels of a body being discovered in a house where a fire had mostly consumed the residence, this in Casey; and because a death investigation has been opened on both cases, there was quite a bit of confusion that ensued when the announcements were made. However, the skeletal remains are a separate incident from the Casey house fire.
Regular readers will recall that there have been a couple of bodies found in or around Clark over the past years, including this one most recently. Apparently the interstate passing through makes it a main thoroughfare for those who want to dispose of the evidence of their crimes.
If we get more on this, we’ll bring it….keep checking back.
