Two law enforcement agencies have confirmed that a dead body has been found in Montgomery County.
The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office wrote in a Wednesday social media post that New Florence police on Tuesday were sent to at 7:58 p.m. Booneslick Road for a 911 hang-up call. Two people told law enforcement that a dead body was inside a vacant building in the 400 block of the street.
The sheriff’s office wrote that it helped police and a dead person was found “in the bay area of the vacant building.” The identity, age and gender of the dead person were not described in the post.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol Troop F’s Division of Drug and Crime Control was also called and are leading the investigation, the release says. An MSHP spokesperson also confirmed to ABC 17 News on Wednesday that a body was found.
