Still More Questions After Body Found in Farm Field
It's been four days since a body was found in a corn field near Knoxville, and the Knox County Sheriffs Department is nowhere close to giving any concrete answers, like, whether there actually was a body found in a corn field.

Neighbors and others have called WGIL in recent days asking specifically what happened Thursday. They all say a body was found in the corn field. And the Knox County Coroner has confirmed one was found.

A published report has identified the body as that of 35-year old Dustin Hengl of Gilson. The Problem is, no law enforcement officials will confirm anything, specifically that.

WGIL contracted the Knox County Sheriffs Department asking for details surrounding the body being found. In an e-mail, officials would only say, quote, "The Sheriffs Department has not put out a press release on this alleged incident," unquote, not specifically answering our question.

If more details are released, we'll let you know on WGIL and WGIL.com
