Kentucky State Police have discovered a body near exit 49 in Laurel County, where five people were shot on September 7 by suspected gunman Joseph Couch, who has been the focus of an extensive manhunt. Although the identity of the body has not been confirmed, it was located in the vicinity of the shooting incident, prompting a shift from search efforts in the Daniel Boone National Forest back to community patrols. Authorities had previously located Couch's abandoned vehicle and an AR-15 believed to be used in the attack. The shooting, which did not result in fatalities, left five individuals injured and caused significant disruption on I-75. Couch faces multiple charges, including five counts of attempted murder. The situation remains under investigation as officials work to confirm the deceased's identity.
