Body found is “not human”
A body found in the Big Black River near U.S. 80 late Monday and believed to be human was determined this morning to be that of an unidentified animal.
The determination came as an autopsy began at the Mississippi State Crime Lab in Jackson.
“It is not human,” Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace said. “I repeat, it is not human.”
Speculation on Monday and early this morning had centered on Benjamin Bearrick, a 55-year-old Warriors Trail resident who has not been seen since January 25, two days after he drove his next-door neighbor and tenant to a hospital with fatal stab wounds.
The death of Shawn Sponholz, 50, was ruled a homicide.
Bearrick was questioned and released, but was not found two days later when deputies went to his home for further investigation.
The discovery came one day after a widespread manhunt through the Bovina area involving trained dogs and more than 60 deputies and volunteers.
The sheriff said Investigator Chris Satcher was at the crime lab this morning when medical examiners determined the body was not human.
