Two officers went into the woods to look for the tent, heading in from several different areas due to the thick underbush.

When the officers went into the woods from the southeast, near a cellphone tower on Winker Mill Road, they came across a body.

Police report that there was no head or hands.

The body had a green jacket, khaki pants and brown boots on.

GPS coordinates place the body at the woods behind a Lowes Foods of Wilkesboro and Big Lots.

Investigators have not found any gunshot or stab wounds, or defensive wounds on the body, Garris said. 

(  more than likely shot in the hand. hence no head. hands removed no
   fingerprints - no id  ) 

Wilkesboro Police Chief Craig Garris said they have no reason to believe criminal activity was involved in the death.

(  wait, what ?? this has to be a typo. 'no reason to believe criminal activity was

   involved in the death.'  reporter had to have miswrote it. or the chief is a 

    complete idiot !  ) 

Investigators have not found any gunshot or stab wounds, or defensive wounds on the body, Garris said.

Police are currently looking to identify the body.
