SALINA, Kan. (AP) The Kansas Bureau of Investigation says a body found near Salina is that of a man believed to be a homicide victim.
Fingerprint tests confirmed the body found Wednesday evening in Lincoln County was 37-year-old Jeffrey B. Powell, who had been missing since July 31.
The Salina Journal reports Sheriff Glen Kochanowski declined to release details of where the body was found or a possible cause of death.
