A death investigation is underway in Magoffin County after a woman’s body was found in a creek in Royalton.
The body was found on Route 7 near Royalton Food Mart.
Relatives say that the woman found is Misty Joseph, a mother of four.
Joseph’s cousin says she left home at 3:00 a.m. but they never heard back from her.
She was found only a couple hundred feet from her home.
“We were shocked. We literally just ran to where she was this morning from here,” said Nicole Joseph, Misty’s cousin.

In February 2011, LEX18 met with Misty after her brother, Jerry Rowe Jr., was reported missing. She talked about the pain of not knowing where he was, or what happened to him.
Now, Misty’s loved ones are left asking that again.
“It’s very heartbreaking, especially for her father, to be going through this again with his daughter,” said Nicole.
Nicole said the most difficult part was breaking the news to Misty’s four children, ranging from 12 years old to six months old.
“She cared for everyone, loved everyone,” said Nicole. “She was a good person, a friend to everyone. No one expected anything like this to happen,” said Nicole.
The Coroner’s office says they don’t suspect foul play their death investigation. Her body will be taken to Frankfort for an autopsy on Friday morning.
