Missing Salem man found

The body of a Salem man missing since January has been found.

Crittenden County Coroner Brad Gilbert was summoned to an area off Ky. 855 North in rural Crittenden County early Sunday morning to investigate an apparent suicide.

Gilbert said Gary “Gabby” Cowan’s body was discovered in a remote area by a turkey hunter. Cowan was dressed in the same clothing that he was wearing when he was last seen in the Shelby Store and Johnson Road area of Livingston County, which across country isn’t too far from where he was found. Cowan is believed to have died the day he went missing on Jan. 21.
