Eau Claire’s sheriff is now calling the investigation into a body found in a ditch last week a homicide investigation.
The sheriff’s department yesterday said it looks like a ‘targeted and isolated incident,’ but did not provide any other specifics. Deputies found a 46-year-old man’s body in the ditch along Mallard Road last Thursday. There is no word yet how the man died, or why the sheriff’s office is now treating the case as a homicide.
