Jefferson County Sheriff Dave Marshak said a body was found in a creek in the 8900 block of Hwy. WW in Dittmer on Sept. 7.
He said the body was found in the afternoon, but he would not provide further details about the body or how it was discovered.
He also would not say today, Sept. 8, if the body was linked to any current Sheriff’s Office investigation.
Marshak said the Medical Examiner Office is expected to perform an autopsy and possibly identify the body on Tuesday, Sept. 9. He said the Sheriff’s Office plans to release more information after the autopsy.
