Staff report
RINGGOLD, GA ? Catoosa County deputy today found the body of a young white male, believed to be Ringgold High wrestler Randy Johnston, in a wooded area in the Equestrian Heights subdivision, Sheriff Phil Summers said.
Johnston, 18, was last seen Saturday when he told his mother he was going for a run. When Johnston, who lives in the subdivision, didn?t return that night the family filed a missing person report with the Sheriff?s Department.
?Although a positive identification has not been made, we do anticipate that the discovery this morning is the missing person,? Summers said.
Because the cause of death is not visually discernable, the body will be transported to the Georgia Crime Laboratory in Atlanta for an autopsy, Summers said.
The Sheriff?s Department has not ruled out foul play and the case is being treated as a homicide investigation he said.
Funeral arrangements have not been made at this time.
