The body of Murry (Alexis) Foust has been found at 1 Steel Plant Rd. in Wilder by an independently organized search party.

We extend our deepest condolences to the Foust family and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time. While we are saddened by this loss, we hope this development can provide the family with some answers and a measure of closure.

The Foust family respectfully asks that the media respect their privacy as they grieve.

The Covington Police Department’s Criminal Investigation Division and Evidence Collection Unit are actively investigating the scene in collaboration with the Wilder Police Department and the Campbell County Coroner's Office. There are currently no indications of foul play.

The official cause and manner of death will be determined by the Campbell County Coroner’s Office. No additional details will be released until that determination has been made.

We also want to thank the community members who shared information, assisted in search efforts, and continued to support the Foust family throughout this investigation.

Additionally, we would like to thank EquuSearch Midwest, Boone County Water Rescue, and the Wilder Police Department for their assistance throughout this lengthy investigation.

We ask the public to allow investigators to continue their work alongside the Campbell County Coroner’s Office to determine the circumstances surrounding this case.
