Michigan Man Found Dead In Escambia, Alabama; Authorities Seek Info
October 12, 2008
The body of a Battle Creek, Michigan, man was found hanging near his vehicle near the Conecuh River in Escambia County, Alabama, and authorities are seeking the public’s help to find out what happened.
The body of Claude VanDusen, 57, was found late Thursday near his vehicle under a bridge near Highway 29 and Escambia County (AL) County Road 4. A fisherman had called authorities to report the vandalized vehicle, and the body was located by authorities a short distance away. They say VanDusen had been dead for several days.
The results of an autoposy have not been released, but authorities are calling the death suspicious.
Back in Michigan, VanDusen’s family says he left home Wednesday morning, cashed his $800 biweekly check, and headed to a hardware store to buy some insulation. That was the last time anyone in his hometown knew of his whereabouts until Escambia County (Alabama) authorities notified Battle Creek Police about the discovery of the body.
Authorities in Michigan say VanDusen had no known connections to anyone in Escambia County, Alabama, or North Escambia, Florida. If you have any information about this case, you are asked to call your local law enforcement agency.
