Missing Man Identified
KENTUCKY...
A western Kentucky coroner says one of three bodies found in a submerged van in 2008 has been identified as a man missing for 12 years. Daviess County Coroner Bob Howe says the body was identified as James Sandy Woodard, who was 25 when he was reported missing along with two other men Nov. 25, 1998. The Messenger-Inquirer of Owensboro reported Tuesday that Woodard's body was identified by DNA experts in Texas. Also missing were Bill Gross, who was 28, and Brian Raley, who was 24. In October 2008, a van containing the three bodies was pulled from an Owensboro pond. The coroner said Woodard's body had suffered trauma to the head and jaw and a gunshot wound to the arm, as well as possible wounds to the torso. The investigation is continuing.
