Police, Police van, and Medical Examiner van on Kansas Expressway, just north of Sunshine. That can't be good.

Ah. I was in the opposite lane headed south. All I could see were the vehicles. Thanks for the info.

Second body found recently. Think there might be a Springfield serial killer?

My guess is someone walking alongside the road got clipped by a car. The number of hit-and-runs in this town is startling.

Too far from the road to be a hit & run. Looks like a homeless camper may have frozen during the last big temp drop to me.

I noticed someone picking up trash in front of the arc of the Ozarks building at elfindale about 1pm today, I wonder if they're the one who found the deceased person.

Someone from there found the body. They are now saying that it is skeletal remains

You are probably correct but injured people often leave the scene and aren't found for quite some time. Fight or flight kicks in.

Hit by a car? Seems to happen a lot in Springfield.

If skeletal remains, then the person has been dead for more than a few weeks, probably at least a few months.

"In a temperate climate, it usually requires three weeks to several years for a body to completely decompose into a skeleton, depending on factors such as temperature, humidity, presence of insects, and submergence in a substrate such as water."
Time to check the local missing persons lists...

Dead body. Easy to tell with the crime scene tap and red bio bags.
