I called my boss and I tell him boss, I see a dead body on the road side. He told me to call the police. Well I don't know the police number to call, so he gives me it. He tell me the police number is 911 and I call the police and I told them I see a dead body on the road side; and they told me okay, don't move. Just hold on right there until they get here. And I wait until they got here and I showed them. I watch and everything then I took off and went to my work."

After going completely mum today – this evening police sent a press release announcing that Kim Barrow's personal security Guard Police Corporal Ryon Wagner had been charged for murder. A police release says that a criminal and internal investigation has been launched. Reliable reports tell us that Wagner and another police officer went to the police station on Friday and told officers they had killed a man – the proceeded to argue about which one of them actually killed him. They appeared to have been drinking. No arrest or detention was made, and we are told Wagner's gun was not confiscated. The body was found the following day.
