News Talk 94.1/AM 1600 Where The Upper Cumberland Talks
Putnam County Sheriff Eddie Farris announced the discovery of skeletal remains in the search area of Tuesday morning’s storms.
At a new conference Wednesday night, Farris said the remains were unrelated to the tornado.
“We did find a body today as we were searching for tornado victims,” Farris said. “The body had been there for quite some time. It is being worked as a death investigation by the Cookeville Police Department.”
The body was discovered in the 25 acre, field officials spent the day searching. That overgrown field accounts of the last 10 percent of the affected area left to be searched.
