(KNZA)--The investigation into what authorities believe was a homicide in Pottawatomie County is continuing, and the public’s help is being sought to assist with the probe.

In a release issued Friday by Pottawatomie County Sheriff Greg Riat, 19-year-old Jacob Bouck, of Wamego, was last seen in the area of Wamego on December 21.

His body was located Christmas Eve about a mile west of Wamego, on the Kansas River.

The 2017 graduate of Wamego High School was deemed by the medical examiner to have been the victim of homicide following a forensic autopsy.
