YouTube streamers discover crime scene in Kentucky forest

YouTube streamers Sheila and Fred McCoy discovered a body in the Daniel Boone National Forest while searching for a suspected gunman linked to a mass shooting incident. The couple had been live streaming their search when they noticed vultures circling a specific area, prompting them to investigate further. After about half an hour, they found the body, which authorities are currently trying to identify through DNA testing. The suspected gunman, identified as Couch, had previously fired multiple rounds in a shooting incident on September 7, injuring one person but fortunately not causing any fatalities. Couch, a former member of the US Army Reserves, had sent alarming text messages to the mother of his child, indicating his intent to harm others. Following these messages, police were alerted and attempted to track his cellphone, but the location data was delayed. This delay allowed Couch to evade immediate capture after the shooting. Authorities later found his abandoned vehicle and several items linked to the shooting, including ammunition and shell casings. The shooting incident left one victim, Rebecca Puryear, injured but alive, as she managed to drive herself to safety before calling for help. She expressed gratitude for surviving the ordeal, despite the serious nature of her injuries. The investigation into Couch's actions and whereabouts continues as law enforcement works to piece together the events leading up to the shooting. The discovery of the body by the McCoys adds a new layer to the ongoing investigation, raising questions about Couch's fate and the potential implications for the victims and their families. As authorities await DNA results, the community remains on edge, reflecting on the violence that unfolded and the search for justice.
