A volunteer police reservist from Virginia who had been reported missing a week ago is dead, police said Friday.
Virginia State Police said a body that they found in connection with the case in a remote area along the Fluvanna and Louisa County lines Thursday had not yet been fully identified.
But police had enough information, and enough time had elapsed since his disappearance, to say that Kevin Quick had died, Virginia State Police spokeswoman Corinne Geller said.
Quick was a 25-year veteran of the volunteer reserve officers of Nelson County. Police offered a tribute to him before a news conference Friday and lowered flags to half-staff.
Also Friday, three people have been taken into custody in connection with Quick's death, bringing the number of people behind bars in connection with the case to six.
