After nearly two-week search, police think they found body of Joseph Couch, man suspected of wounding five people

A body found in rural south-eastern Kentucky is believed to be the man suspected of shooting and wounding five people on an interstate highway, authorities said Wednesday night.

Kentucky state police commissioner Phillip Burnett Jr said at a news briefing that the body discovered earlier in the day is believed to be Joseph Couch, of Woodbine. Authorities hoped the discovery would end an intense, nearly two-week search that had area residents on edge.
