 Local
emergency response agencies, law enforcement and fire departments
provided mutual aid along with state assistance in an extensive search
of the area grounds and water for two weeks.
On May 26, authorities recovered the
body of a white male from the water downstream from where Eskew was
last seen. The body was taken to Memorial Medical Center in
Springfield, where an autopsy was to be performed by Dr. Jessica
Bowman and DNA testing would be done to confirm the ID.
Logan County Coroner Robert Thomas confirmed
today that the body that was found is that of Eskew.
Thomas said that an inquest could not be scheduled yet, as the
results of the autopsy may not be back for up to four weeks.
