BRAXTON MAN'S BODY FOUND IN TRASH CAN

(10/17/2003)
The body of a Braxton County resident who was missing for about a week was found stuffed in a trash can in Kanawha County.

Authorities have notified the family of Roy Glen Lloyd, 55, that he had been found dead Thursday night.

The body was found along the bank of the Kanawha River in Jefferson, by a man staying at a motel. Darrell McNeely told police that when he lifted the duct-taped lid off the container, he spotted blue pants and off-white socks on the body.

The body was shoved head-first into the plastic container, and was wrapped in a bloody white sheet held by duct tape.

The body was found behind Bannum Place, a house that had been used as a halfway house for recently released convicts.
