After almost two weeks of fourteen law enforcement agencies from the federal, state and local level searching for Joseph Couch, the I 75 shooter, a YouTuber couple, Sheila and Fred McCoy of Liberty, Kentucky have located a body in the Daniel Boone National Forest while live streaming in the area. The couple, who claimed to be descendants of the famous Hatfields and McCoys call themselves “bounty hunters on the hunt”. They were able to locate the body because of the buzzards overhead.
The couple has been actively searching for Joseph Couch.
The couple believe that this is the body of Couch, and in a statement from the Kentucky state police at 4:18 PM EST, they announced the body had been found. However, the body has not been positively identified as Joseph Couch at this time. Authorities are attempting to identify the body.
In the video, Fred McCoy shouts, “I got him!“.
The video displays a dead body lying in the back of a hollow, apparently deteriorated. They describe him as “still having his legs” in the video.
This is a developing story.
