(UPDATE) Body Found In Andrew County Driveway Investigated As A Homicide


The Andrew County Sheriff’s Office and Missouri State Highway Patrol Division of Drug and Crime Control are investigating a homicide after a man’s body was found in his driveway just north of the Buchanan County line on Andrew County Road 361.

Sheriff Bryan Atkins identified the victim as 41-year-old Kenneth Dale Wilson.

Atkins says they received a 911 call just before 6am Thursday after a family member arrived at Wilson’s home and found his body.

Atkins says they are following up a few leads which are being investigated. An autopsy was scheduled Thursday afternoon from which they hope to determine the cause of death and how long the victim had been dead.

“There’s evidence to show that other-than-normal causes of death were evident at the scene,” Atkins said. He would not reveal additional details, saying the investigation was still in the early stages.

Twelve officers from the two agencies are investigating Wilson’s death.

If you have information that could help, call the Andrew County Sheriff’s Office at 816-324-4114 or the TIPS hotline at 238-TIPS.
