November 8, 2012 AR · Metal/Non-Metal miner, prospector, nec OTHER
Geo Specialty Chemicals · Unclassified, insufficient data

Two young boys discovered a badly decomposed body a few yards off of Woodyard Road. The area where the body was found was the south / east portion of the GEO mine site; in an area that was never mined and is very dense with vegetation and growth. The Pulaski County Sheriff's office conducted the investigation and we have no further knowledge of their investigation.
