Body found near Bogata identified

By Kevin Jefferies

Johntown – Dental records have allowed officials to identify a partially decomposed body found Wednesday near Bogata. 46 year old Kelly McCuller had been missing since December 10th when his body was found last week in Johntown. Officials do not suspect foul play in the man's death at this time.

McCuller had been staying overnights at his cousin's insulation company in Johntown when fire broke out in the facility December 10th, gutting the metal building. The man went missing after the fire. His body was found a half mile from the facility in an overgrown area.

Officials continue to investigate and expect to know more about the cause of death this week.
