its Kentucky, they likely were moonshiners
ACtually that was my first thought, too.
But if I were moonshinging and decided I had to kill a guy who stumbled onto my still, I would't hang the guy up with a sign like that.
I'd bury the body deep.
Wouldn't you?
No, I do think this was either some right wing nutter, or somebody hoping to throw off the cops (which might then means that you are right about those moonshiners as you and I first thought).
Hopefully this investigation will get a followup.
it occurred a bit ago...the fbi are handling the case and mum's been the word from them...even the poor man's mother has not been updated on what happened....just told his body was decomposed and she would need to creme-mate him when she does get to send him to his rest.
