KANSAS CITY, MO. — The body of a missing 61-year-old Kansas City, Missouri, man was discovered by deputies with the Clay County Sheriff's Office on a rural property in Clay County early Saturday morning.
The Clay County Sheriff's Office was notified by a property owner north of Mosby, Missouri, of a vehicle on his property. Upon arrival to the property, deputies found the body of Roger Hunt, whose family reported him missing to the Kansas City, Kansas, Police Department earlier this week, nearby the vehicle.
