In a shocking turn of events, a body believed to be that of the Kentucky highway shooter, Joseph Couch, was discovered by a couple of YouTube enthusiasts, Fred and Sheila McCoy, during a livestream. The search for Couch had been ongoing for over a week, with multiple agencies and law enforcement officials combing through 28,000 acres of dense woods in the Daniel Boone National Forest. The discovery was made possible by the McCoy's keen eye and their "bounty-hunting" skills, which earned them a reward of $15,000 from Laurel County Crimestoppers and $10,000 from a private donor.

The body was found in a patch of dirt, with human legs clearly visible in the fuzzy footage. The clothing on the remains matched that of Couch's, but the medical examiner will make the official identification. The search for Couch had been intense, with police recovering a silver SUV and an AR-15 rifle abandoned near the exit. Investigators believe Couch planned the attack ahead of time, but picked his targets at random. Neighbors had reported threatening behavior from Couch prior to the shooting, and one neighbor had confronted him about threatening his three dogs with a rifle.

The discovery of the body has raised more questions than answers, with investigators still searching for a motive behind the mass shooting. The incident has left the community shaken, and it will take time for the victims to heal and move forward. The bravery of Fred and Sheila McCoy has earned them recognition, and their discovery will likely go down in history as one of the most bizarre and unexpected ways to solve a crime.
