The GBI is investigating the discovery of a body on Lower Wirebridge Road in a secluded part of Oglethorpe County near Maxeys.

 

A GBI spokeswoman said Monday afternoon that the body, which was found Saturday night, is at the crime lab, but a positive ID hasn’t been made.

 

Oglethorpe County Sheriff David Gabriel wrote in a text message that the body “could be related to a missing person out of Acworth,” referring to Kenny Jackson, a 21-year-old who has been missing since Nov. 19, but the GBI spokeswoman wouldn’t confirm that.

 

Gabriel said foul play isn’t suspected.
