BIG CREEK, Ky. (September 26, 2009)–The man who found the body of part-time U.S. Census worker Bill Sparkman hanging in a rural Kentucky cemetery two weeks ago says he has no doubt that Sparkman was murdered.
Jerry Weaver of Fairfield, Ohio, told The Associated Press the gruesome scene haunts him.
Weaver said he, his wife, and his daughter were visiting family graves at the cemetery when they discovered the body.
Sparkman was naked but for a pair of socks, with his hands, wrists and eyes duct-taped and a gag in his mouth, he said… [an] identification tag had been duct-taped to the side of his neck, he said. The word “fed” was written in felt-tip pen on the 51-year-old’s chest.
Authorities have released few details of their investigation and have not yet said whether they think it was an accident, suicide or homicide.
A state trooper says the case has “many facets” and investigators have not yet been able to rule out many scenarios.
