MIAMI, Okla. (AP) – The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation says a Missouri man has been found dead in far northeastern Oklahoma.
The OSBI said Friday that the body of 24-year-old Tyler Applebee was found Wednesday by hunters near the former town of Cardin in Ottawa County.
The OSBI says Applebee had no known connection to Oklahoma and investigators are seeking information about his activities leading up to Wednesday.
A suspected cause of death has not been released.
