The skeletal remains, along with a sleeping bag and clothing, were linked to 65-year-old Steven Allen Yance, a Vermont man who had been living at the site and lost contact with his family years earlier.

SUMMARY: Authorities in Kentucky are intensifying their search for Joseph Couch, a suspect in a series of shootings on I-75, after an 11-day manhunt that has covered over 28,000 acres of the Daniel Boone National Forest. While Couch remains at large, officials have decided to increase police patrols in Laurel County, focusing on community reassurance rather than extensive forest searches. Since the incidents began on September 7, where multiple cars were shot at and five people were injured, authorities have received over 400 tips. Continued police presence has been established, especially around schools, to enhance community safety.

Joseph Couch is wanted by Kentucky officials after shooting, wounding five people on I-75 on Sept. 7.
