LONDON, Ky. (WDKY) — A body has been found near where Kentucky authorities spent days searching for a suspected gunman accused of injuring several people traveling on an interstate. Wednesday evening, Kentucky State Police said on X that troopers located a body near Exit 49 on I-75, just outside of the small town of London, and were working with authorities to confirm the identity of the body. The body appears to have been found by a group from Hatfield McCoy Museum Adventures who were tracking vultures near Exit 49 on I-75. Who is Joseph Couch? Alleged I-75 shooter warned he was going to ‘kill a lot of people’ In live stream footage from the group on Wednesday, the members said they started to pick up on the smell of decaying flesh. The livestream, which lasted around 30 minutes, ended about one minute after they found the body and called out to the rest of their group. The Hatfield McCoy Museum Adventures group took a break from sharing the story of the Hatfield and McCoy feud to help locate Joseph Couch, according to other videos featured on their channel. The discovery comes 12 days after five people were injured in a highway shooting in the Exit 49 area.

On Sept. 7, five people were injured and 12 vehicles were damaged in a shooting near Exit 49 on I-75 near London. Authorities quickly identified a person of interest, 32-year-old Joseph Couch, after finding a vehicle registered in his name nearby. The next day, Couch was named a suspect. As WDKY previously reported, authorities had been alerted hours before the shooting that Couch had texted a woman saying he was going to “kill a lot of people.” An emergency cell site tracker was placed on his cellphone, which pinged near Exit 49 just over an hour after shots were fired. Couch had purchased a rifle and 1,000 rounds of ammunition the same day of the shooting, investigators determined. A rifle case was found in his abandoned vehicle, as well as a semi-automatic weapon. While Couch was named a suspect, authorities warned they had not determined who had fired the weapon. Laurel County, located in southeastern Kentucky, remained on edge for days as authorities searched the heavily wooded area near Exit 49 for Couch. On Tuesday, searchers were pulled from the woods to bolster patrols in nearby communities as schools reopened. “We feel like we’ll be better off to protect our communities by moving those personnel,” Kentucky State Police Commissioner Phillip Burnett, Jr. said. “This is the best plan that we have going forward. We have looked at every possible scenario. We’ve looked at every piece of equipment, technology that we can utilize, and this, from what we have discovered so far in this search, this is the best plan moving forward.” Authorities said Monday they had searched and cleared over 28,000 acres of land in the Daniel Boone National Forest while searching for Couch. Cameras were placed in the woods to continue monitoring for activity. Kentucky State Police Trooper Scottie Pennington previously told reporters that he hoped Couch would run out of resources and "walk out of the woods." Pennington also noted that if Couch had died, buzzards could gather overhead, which could be a sign for searchers. “And some people say, ‘Well, what if he’s not alive anymore?’ Well, we’re going to stay in the woods till we find him,” Pennington said last week. “And, you know, that’s our job. If he’s dead or alive. It’s our job to try to find him.” The Associated Press contributed to this report.
