Hunter discovers Body near Seneca

Sister station WGOG reports that Oconee County Sheriff Mike Crenshaw says preliminary investigation shows a body found Thursday morning near Seneca matches the physical description of a person reported missing on Wednesday. A hunter found the body on what was described as a logging road near Friendship Road, not far from that community’s volunteer fire station. Highway troopers investigated a motorcycle accident in the vicinity last weekend, but Sheriff Crenshaw says at this time it’s unknown whether there is a connection. An autopsy has been ordered by the coroner, and Sheriff Crenshaw says his investigators will look for its results as their investigation progresses.
