A preliminary report from a Washington, D.C. FBI (web) lab confirms the identity of a body found in Evington. The Campbell County Sheriff says they're waiting for official confirmation before releasing the name.
The body was found near railroad tracks last year. It was so decomposed the state crime lab couldn't make a positive DNA match.
Sheriff Terry Gaddy, Campbell County - "We feel like we are 99% sure who it is but we don't have dental records from his past to verify that."
The family is aware, but are also waiting on a positive match.
