No New Leads on Body Found in River or David Boggs

Two separate investigations that began months ago have made no progress, according to authorities.

When asked for an update this week, a spokesperson for Paducah Police Department told West Kentucky Star Friday that there are no new leads into the disappearance of David Boggs, who worked for Barbecue on the River for several years. He was reported missing on November 5 by a friend, and later that day the Board of Barbecue on the River said they believed he had taken $20,000 from the organization's operating fund. Police began parallel investigations, but emphasized that their main concern was for Boggs' safety.

Meanwhile, West Kentucky Star also asked McCracken County Sheriff Matt Carter if there were any leads in the investigation into a man's body found in the Ohio River on September 18, and he said there were none. The while male's body was spotted by someone who contacted Massac County Dispatch. In October, then-Coroner Dan Sims said an autopsy showed no foul play, and that the body could have floated to the area from upstream or downstream, considering recent water levels on area rivers.
