UPDATE: Body found case ruled homicide

OAK GROVE, Ky. (WTVQ) – What began as a death investigation in Christian County is now being called a homicide by State Police. Investigators say the body of an African-American man was found Wednesday just off of Carter Road near Ghost Bridge by a patrolling officer from Oak Grove Police.

State Police say an autopsy on Thursday did not result in a positive identification of the victim, so DNA and dental records will be used.

Anyone who has information in this case is asked to call State Police toll-free at 1-800-222-5555. Callers can remain anonymous.
