Police are trying to determine exactly what happened after a trucker reported to them that he had spotted something awful while traveling over an interstate bridge in Missouri.
I saw this on CDL Life, but I believe their report originated from a story on The Kansas City Star. They say that a trucker was traveling over this bridge on I-435 in the Kansas City, Missouri area on Tuesday, July 22 when he saw something floating in the river.
The trucker was a passenger in an elevated cab at the time of the sighting which police later learned was a deceased individual. As of the date of this writing, the identify of the person found is unknown. It’s possible that identification has been made and police are waiting on the notification of next of kin. My understanding from the story is that the investigation was being carried out by a “missing persons unit, crime scene investigators, and a medical examiner”. There is no confirmation at this time if the case is being investigated as a homicide or not…
