In Kittanning Pennsylvania a decomposed body of 11 year old Richard Wilson of Leechburg was found by a hunter. Coroner Jack Kennedy said radiological and pathological tests indicate a gunshot wound to the head but investigators cannot determine when where or how the shooting occurred.

Authorities planned a detailed search of the thicket for the gun.
