Body at Grayson Lake was that of local man

ASHLAND, Ky. (AP) — Human remains found at an eastern Kentucky lake were those of a young man missing in the region since last year.

Kentucky State Police say the state medical examiner’s office identified the body as that of 21-year-old Nathan Barker of Olive Hill. Hunters found the remains Sunday in a remote area along Grayson Lake.

Investigators later found a wallet with Barker’s identification inside it.

It isn’t yet known when or how Barker died and a DNA match is still pending.
