Thursday, August 30, 2007
The body of a man was discovered this morning in the former town dump of a rural west Tennessee town 20 miles above Dyersburg, Tenn., roughly two hours south of Cape Girardeau.
The body was found in Ridgley, Tenn. The Dyersburg State Gazette said it has learned the body was that of a 70-year-old homeless man, though authorities have yet to release any names or a cause of death.
Ridgley police contacted the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, which sent a mobile crime lab from Nashville, Tenn., to analyze the scene.
