The body was discovered as part of a ground search by the Claiborne County Sheriff’s Department and Mississippi Wildlife Fisheries and Parks. Both departments had been looking for a man who has bee missing since early March.
The Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division and the US Attorney for the Southern District of Mississippi have also joined the investigation, according to the Jackson Clarion Ledger.

“The sheriff’s department contacted the MBI [Mississippi Bureau of Investigation] and FBI for forensic and investigative assistance. Investigators are currently processing the scene for evidence to determine the cause and manner of death,” the FBI said in a statement.
The victim is said to be Otis Byrd, 54, who has been missing since March 2 and was found half a mile from his last known residence. Byrd’s family filed a missing person report with the Claiborne County Sheriff’s Department on March 8 and he was last seen by a friend who dropped him off at a casino.
