Officials believe a body found on the riverbanks in Whitley County is connected to a months-old missing person’s case.
A passerby called officials to report the deceased victim, who was located in a tree along the Cumberland River on Clear Fork.
The body is close to the Kentucky/Tennessee border. The Sheriff confirms to LEX 18 that the body is believed to be that of a man who went missing from a rest area back in January.

Randall Walker went missing from a rest area on I-75. The driver of the vehicle told law enforcement that he and Walker were on a trip back to Ohio from a doctor’s appointment in Georgia when they stopped in the middle of the night on their way back through. The friend told investigators Walker went inside to use the restroom while he was helping another motorist with a dead battery.
Walker’s cell phone, wallet, and his cane were left behind in the vehicle.
