Authorities in western Kansas have been

trying to identify a body found earlier this week outside Oakley.

The unidentified Hispanic man was found about 26 miles south of

Oakley, and authorities believe he died late Sunday night or early

Monday morning.

Logan County Sheriff Pat Parsons stated that

the case has been handed over to the Kansas Bureau of

Investigation, and the Logan County Sheriff’s office will help in

the investigation.

KBI Director Wiley Kerr said once relatives are notified,

authorities will release more information about the body.
