The body of a man was found decomposing in a cornfield near West Alton, Missouri. There were no signs of shooting, beatings, or abuse, even though the body of the victim, who was estimated to have been dead for only 3 days, was no longer recognizable. More than 12 years later, the FBI released two notes containing his death message.
A woman was driving alone in a cornfield on Route 367 in St. Charles County near West Alton, Missouri, on June 30, 1999. She was shocked when she crossed the route and found a dead body. The body was unrecognizable because it had undergone severe decomposition, as if it had been there for a long time.
The police, assisted by a team of investigators, finally managed to identify the corpse through fingerprints. The body was recognized as that of a 41-year-old man named Ricky McCormick. But strangely, there was no missing person report from his family. Ricky’s family only learned of his death after being contacted by the police.
