The search for a missing Harrodsburg man led investigators to Lexington where his body was found Tuesday afternoon.

The Fayette County Coroner was called to Alexandria Drive where Barry Slaven’s body was discovered inside a moving truck.

What started as a simple death investigation quickly turned in a homicide.

“At this point we believe that another person has taken this white male’s life,” said Gary Ginn, Fayette County Coroner. “So we are investigating it as a homicide.”

Ginn said Slaven, 33, was found in the front of a Penske truck with a gunshot wound.

But friends tell LEX18 they had been searching for him since Sunday.

Family said they had filed a missing person’s report with Lexington Police and even took to social media to try to spread the word about his sudden disappearance.

Friends said Slaven was was a great father, friend and even served in the military.

Although the investigation is still in the early stages, Slaven’s loved ones hope to get answers as to why he was killed.

“We’re not sure if there were multiple people in the truck if this was the only person if possibly someone else maybe the driver left the vehicle,” Ginn said. “Maybe someone got in the truck.”

While investigators stayed out searching, using what appeared to be metal detectors, for any clues that may be linked to this crime a friend started a GoFundMe page to help pay for funeral expenses.

The coroner says he can’t call the exact cause of death until he learns more after an autopsy is performed Wednesday.

Lexington Police are looking for a taser-carrying bank robber who hit banks on Richmond Road twice.

Back in May, Crime Stoppers showed photos of a taser carrying bank robber.

“Even though the tellers complied with him he still tasered one of the tellers, “said Detective Mark Thomas with the Lexington Police Department.

No one sent in any tips after the photos were aired. Six months later the same man hit up a different bank.

“We believe it’s the same guy, obviously being armed with a taser and two using the Richmond Rd. Corridor.  Either he’s a local to that area or he’s using the interstate to escape Lexington after he does these robberies,” said Thomas.

He didn’t use the taser the second time, just had it on him.

“He doesn’t seem to be thwarted by the fact that other people are in the bank, he simply goes in to commit these robberies and he’s going to leave as quickly as he came in,” said Thomas.

Police wonder if he’s an out-of-towner who gets into Lexington quickly on Richmond Road and then leaves to hit other places along I-75.

A reward is up for grabs if you turn him in. Call the Crime Stoppers tipline if you know anything (859) 253- 2020.
