A worker at J&T Dairy alerted the sheriff's office immediately after finding the body around 7 a.m. The cornfield is by Sandy Mush and Combs Road, in between the dairy and the Juvenile Justice Correctional Complex.
Deputy Daryl Allen said the body's state of decomposition made the person completely unidentifiable.
"We're not sure how long the body had been there," said Allen. "Animals, bugs and everything else kind of plays a factor in trying to identify this body."
Including our unseasonably hot summer. Allen said the coroner's office is trying multiple methods to figure out who this person is, including ways of re-hydrating skin and doing dental impressions.
